Résumé
Most work on protective immunity against the pre-erythrocytic stages of malaria has focused on induction of antibodies that prevent sporozoite invasion of hepatocytes, and CD8(+) T-cell responses that eliminate infected hepatocytes. We recently reported that immunization of A/J mice with an 18-amino-acid synthetic linear peptide from Plasmodium yoelii sporozoite surface protein 2 (SSP2) in TiterMax adjuvant induces sterile protection that is dependent on CD4(+) T cells and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). We now report that immunization of inbred A/J mice and outbred CD1 mice with each of two linear synthetic peptides from the 17-kDa P. yoelii hepatocyte erythrocyte protein (HEP17) in the same adjuvant also induces protection against sporozoite challenge that is dependent on CD4(+) T cells and IFN-gamma. The SSP2 peptide and the two HEP17 peptides are recognized by B cells as well as T cells, and the protection induced by these peptides appears to be directed against the infected hepatocytes. In contrast to the peptide-induced protection, immunization of eight different strains of mice with radiation-attenuated sporozoites induces protection that is absolutely dependent on CD8(+) T cells. Data represented here demonstrate that CD4(+) T-cell-dependent protection can be induced by immunization with linear synthetic peptides. These studies therefore provide the foundation for an approach to pre-erythrocytic-stage malaria vaccine development, based on the induction of protective CD4(+) T-cell responses, which will complement efforts to induce protective antibody and CD8(+) T-cell responses.
