The first line of defense of the host after primary infection by Toxoplasma gondii is the intestinal mucosal surface, which consists of epithelial cells, intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) (mainly of CD8 phenotype), mucus, and secretory Igs. T. gondii cysts were administered orally to CBA/J mice to determine whether parasite-specific cytotoxic IEL can be elicited within the intestine. We found that oral infection led to an increase in the relative percentages of the CD8 beta + and Thy-1+ IEL populations between day 9 and day 13 after infection. At these times, T. gondii-primed, but not control mice, generated parasite- specific cytotoxic effector IEL for toxoplasma-infected macrophages. This cytotoxic activity was genetically restricted. By using magnetically activated cell sorting, the effector IEL were shown to be CD8 alpha/beta + Thy-1+ T lymphocytes and FACScan analysis revealed that they mainly express TCR-alpha beta. A significant level of cytotoxicity was also observed against T. gondii-infected epithelial cells from the MODE-K cell line, suggesting that parasite-specific IEL may ensure epithelial integrity by rapidly killing infected enterocytes. Finally, toxoplasma stimulation in vitro led to IFN-gamma production by T. gondii-primed IEL. Taken together, these data suggest that antigen-specific IEL, bearing the CD8 alpha/beta + Thy-1+, TCR- alpha beta + phenotype, can act directly as effector cells through a specific CTL activity at the intestinal level and may indirectly activate other mucosal effector mechanisms through IFN-gamma secretion.
