CD8+ T cells have been implicated as critical effector
cells in protection against preerythrocytic stage malaria, including
the potent protective immunity of mice and humans induced by
immunization with radiation-attenuated Plasmodium spp.
sporozoites. This immunity is directed against the
Plasmodium spp. parasite developing within the host
hepatocyte and for a number of years has been presumed to be mediated
directly by CD8+ CTL or indirectly by IFN-
released from
CD8+ T cells. In this paper, in BALB/c mice, we establish
that after immunization with irradiated sporozoites or DNA vaccines
parasite-specific CD8+ T cells trigger a novel mechanism of
adaptive immunity that is dependent on T cell- and non-T cell-derived
cytokines, in particular IFN-
and IL-12, and requires NK cells but
not CD4+ T cells. The absolute requirement for
CD8+ T cells to initiate such an effector mechanism, and
the requirement for IL-12 and NK cells in such vaccine-induced
protective immunity, are unique and underscore the complexity of the
immune responses that protect against malaria and other intracellular
pathogens.
