Resumo: | We showed that a large fraction of lepromatous patients do harbor helper-type circulating T-cells that can be activated in vitro by Mycobacterium leprae. M. leprae and PPD triggered T-cell lines could be then obtained from both tuberculoid and lepromatous patients. The proliferative response of these helper T-cells is predominantly directed against epitopes shared by several species of mycobacteria, in lepromatous patients as well as in tuberculoid patients, but species specific T-cells are also present. When presented in the context of M. leprae, these cross reactive epitopes usually fail to stimulate the T-cell lines of lepromatous patients, because of the contamination of the lines by supressor T-cells actavable by M. leprae. In one lepromatous patient, PPD and M. leprae reactive T-cell lines and clones (of the CD4 phenotype), exhibited a strong cytotoxic activity to autologous target cells coated with antigen: the relevance of this phenomenon to the pathophysiology of lepromatous leprosy remains however unknown. |
