AbstractPlasmodiumparasites that infect humans are highly polymorphic, and induce various infections ranging from an asymptomatic state to life-threatening diseases. However, how the differences between the parasites affect host immune responses during blood-stage infection remains largely unknown. We investigated the CD4+T-cell immune responses in mice infected withP. bergheiANKA (PbA) orP. chabaudi chabaudiAS (Pcc) using PbT-II cells, which recognize a common epitope of these parasites. In the acute phase of infection, CD4+T-cell responses in PbA-infected mice showed a lower involvement of Th1 cells and a lower proportion of Ly6Cloeffector CD4+T cells than those in Pcc-infected mice. Transcriptome analysis of PbT-II cells indicated that type I interferon (IFN)-regulated genes were expressed at higher levels in both Th1- and Tfh-type PbT-II cells from PbA-infected mice than those from Pcc-infected mice. Moreover, IFN-α levels were considerably higher in PbA-infected mice than in Pcc-infected mice. Inhibition of type I IFN signaling increased PbT-II and partially reversed the Th1 over Tfh bias of the PbT-II cells in both PbA- and Pcc-infected mice. In the memory phase, PbT-II cells in PbA-primed mice maintained higher numbers and exhibited a better recall response to the antigen. However, recall responses were not significantly different between the infection groups after re-challenge with PbA, suggesting the effect of the inflammatory environment by the infection. These observations suggest that the differences inPlasmodium-specific CD4+T-cell responses between PbA- and Pcc-infected mice were associated with the difference in type I IFN production during the early phase of the infection.
