摘要
CD4+ T cells play a major role in protective immunity against the blood stage of malaria, but the mechanism of protection is unclear. By adoptive transfer of cloned T cell lines, direct evidence is provided that both T(H)1 and T(H)2 subsets of CD4+ T cells can protect mice against Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi infection. T(H)1 cells protect by a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism, whereas T(H)2 cells protect by the enhancement and accelerated production of specific immunoglobulin G1 antibody.
