dc.description | Schistosome infection induces profound Th-biasing and immune suppression.
Although much has been examined in mice, few studies have examined
responses of naı¨ve humans to schistosome antigens. In this study, we examined
the response of naı¨ve human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (nPBMC) to
stimulation with Schistosoma mansoni soluble egg antigen (SEA) using a priming
in vitro (PIV) assay. We found that SEA induced a pronounced CD4+
T-helper cell response based on cytokine secretion and phenotyping markers.
SEA-stimulated nPBMC (SEA cells) at day 7 post-priming and after the first
recall consisted predominantly of Th0-like CD4+ T cells. Following the second
recall, the majority of donor (10 ⁄ 12) responses were Th2-like. The cell population
consisted of approximately 64% CD4+, 17% CD8+high, 12% CD19+, and
7% CD23+ cells. The CD4+ population also expressed HLA-DR+, CD54+,
CD45RO+ and CD25+ whereas the CD19+ cells expressed CD80 and CD86.
Following priming, we detected high levels of IL-6, IFN-c, IL-12p40, IL-10
and IL-5. Upon restimulation, SEA cells secreted IL-5 and high levels of
IL-10, typical of a Th2-like response. The data presented herein shows that the
majority of naı¨ve donor dendritic cells, following stimulation with SEA, prime
and clonally expand SEA-specific T cells towards a Th2-type response. However,
two donors responded with an atypical response, producing IFN-c coincident
with low levels of IL-10. Whether this differential response was due to HLA or
other genes was not determined but is currently under investigation. | |
