Visceral leishmaniasis, the most severe form of leishmaniasis, is caused by Leishmania donovani andL. infantum. Immunity toLeishmaniainfection has been shown to depend on the development of Th1 cells; however, the roles of B cells and antibodies during infection remain unclear. In the present study, we showed that AID and μs double-deficient mice (DKO), which have B cells but not circulating immunoglobulins (cIgs), became resistant toL. donovaniinfection, whereas μs or AID single-deficient mice did not. This resistance in DKO mice occurred in the liver from an early stage of the infection. The depletion of IFN-γ did not affect the rapid reduction of parasite burden, whereas NADPH oxidases was up-regulated in the livers of infected DKO mice. The inhibition of the reactive oxygen species pathwayin vivoby apocynin, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor, resulted in a significant increase in the parasite burden in DKO mice. These results indicate that a circulating Ig deficiency induces a protective response againstL. donovaniinfection by elevating IFN-γ-independent NADPH oxidase activity, and also that cIgs play a regulatory role in controllingL. donovaniinfection in mice.
