Immune Elimination of Leishmania major in Mice: Implications for Immune Memory, Vaccination, and Reactivation Disease1

Jude E. Uzonna, Guojian Wei, Dean Yurkowski and Peter Bretscher2

Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

Infection of susceptible BALB/c mice with a large, moderate, or low number of Leishmania major parasites respectively results in progressive disease, the formation of substantial but stable lesions, denoted as borderline disease, and the absence of a visible lesion. Infection with a low number of parasites results over the long term in either subclinical infections or an asymptomatic state. Subclinical mice produce a predominant Th1 response and are resistant to challenge, in contrast to their asymptomatic counterparts. Statistical and other evidence suggest that the asymptomatic state can arise from a subclinical state following parasite clearance, with consequent loss of resistance. Cell transfer studies demonstrate unequivocally that immune cells from subclinical mice can protect naive mice against a pathogenic challenge and can clear the parasite, leaving the mice susceptible to a rechallenge infection. This susceptibility is associated with the disappearance of both parasite-specific effector and memory T cells from secondary lymphoid organs. These findings have implications for vaccination, maintenance of memory, and prevention of reactivation disease.
