Immunization with radiation‐attenuatedPlasmodiumsporozoites (RAS) induces sterile and long‐lasting protective immunity. Although intravenous (IV) route of RAS immunization is reported to induce superior immunity compared to intradermal (ID) injection, its role in the maintenance of sterile immunity is yet to be understood. We investigated whether the route of homologous sporozoite challenge ofPlasmodium berghei(Pb) RAS‐immunized mice would influence the longevity of protection. C57BL/6 mice immunized with Pb‐RAS by IV were 100% protected upon primary IV/ID sporozoite challenge. In contrast, ID immunization resulted in 80% protection, regardless of primary challenge route. Interestingly, the route of primary challenge was found to bring difference in the maintenance of sterile protection. While IV Pb RAS‐immunized mice remained protected at all challenges regardless of the route of primary challenge, ID Pb‐RAS‐immunized mice receiving ID primary challenge became parasitaemic upon secondary IV challenge. Significantly, primary IV challenge of Pb RAS ID‐immunized mice resulted in 80% and 50% survival at secondary and tertiary challenges, respectively. According to phenotypically diverse liver CD8+T cells, the percentages and the numbers of both CD8+T effector memory and resident memory cells were significantly higher in IV than in ID Pb RAS‐immunized mice. IFN‐γ‐producing CD8+T cells specific to Pb TRAP130and MIP‐4‐Kb‐17 were also found significantly higher in IV mice than in ID mice. The enhanced T‐cell generation and the longevity of protection appear to be dependent on the parasite load during challenge when infection is tolerated under suboptimal CD8+T‐cell response.
