Abstract in Portuguese
As células T CD4+ do baço são importantes na proteção frente à malária através de mecanismos mediados pelas citocinas do perfil Th1. Neste trabalho observamos o aumento das células NK1.1+TCRab por baço nos camundongos C57BL/6, que apresentam o fenótipo de células ativadas, produzem IFN-g, expressam de níveis altos de Fas e PD-L1 que correlaciona com a baixa capacidade proliferativa na fase aguda da infecção pelo Plasmodium chabaudi AS. As células T CD4+ convencionais são a principal subpopulação de células T ativadas na resposta imune frente à infecção, que se desenvolve em duas fases consecutivas concomitantemente com as parasitemias aguda e crônica. Na fase aguda da infecção, a resposta das células T CD4+ convencionais é intensa e de curta duração, com produção grandes quantidades citocinas com cinética semelhante às células T CD4+ não-convencionais. Dessa maneira, as células T CD4+ convencionais possuem um papel central no início da resposta ao P. chabaudi, respondendo em paralelo com as células T não-convencionais como uma ponte entre a imunidade inata e adquirida.

Abstract in English
Spleen CD4+ T cells have an important role for protection against malaria through mechanisms mediated by Th1 cytokines. We observed that the increase in NK1.1+TCRab cell numbers per spleen in C57BL/6 mice, show an activated cell phenotype, with high expression of Fas and PD-L1 correlating with their low proliferative capacity and produce IFN-g during the acute P. chabaudi infection. We show that conventional CD4+ T cells are the main activated T cells subpopulation in the immune response to infection, which develops in two consecutive phases concomitantly with acute and chronic parasitemias. In the acute phase, the conventional CD4+ T cell response is intense and short-lasting, rapidly providing proinflammatory. Taken together, these results indicated the central role of conventional CD4+ T cells during P. chabaudi malaria, acting in parallel with non-conventional CD4+ T cells as a link between innate and acquired immunity.
