The spleen is the main organ for immune defense during infection withPlasmodiumparasites and splenomegaly is one of the major symptoms of such infections. Using a rodent model ofPlasmodium yoeliiinfection, MHC class II+CD11c−non‐T, non‐B cells in the spleen were characterized. Although the proportion of conventional dendritic cells was reduced, that of MHC II+CD11c−non‐T, non‐B cells increased during the course of infection. The increase in this subpopulation was dependent on the presence of lymphocytes. Experiments using Rag‐2−/−mice with adoptively transferred normal spleen cells indicated that these cells were non‐lymphoid cells; however, their accumulation in the spleen during infection withP. yoeliidepended on lymphocytes. Functionally, these MHC II+CD11c−non‐T, non‐B cells were able to produce the proinflammatory cytokines alpha tumor necrosis factor and interleukin‐6 in response to infected red blood cells, but had only a limited ability to activate antigen‐specific CD4+T cells. This study revealed a novel interaction between MHC II+CD11c−non‐lymphoid cells and lymphoid cells in the accumulations of these non‐lymphoid cells in the spleen during infection withP. yoelii.
