We have found that a small number of purified Th2-biased Aβ-specific T cells are sufficient to provide profound cognitive and pathological benefits in an APP+PS1 mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease. Six weeks after receiving T cell infusions, cognitively-impaired mice performed significantly better in working memory tasks, which correlated with higher plasma levels of soluble Aβ. Pathological analysis of the hippocampus revealed a 30% decrease of plaque- associated microglia and less vascular amyloidosis in T cell treated mice. The infusion of Aβ-specific Th2 cells also reduced plasma levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, GM-CSF, IL-2 and IL-4, which are elevated in untreated APP+PS1 mice. No significant immune cell infiltration and no anti-Abeta antibody titers occurred in the T cell treated mice. These results demonstrate that Aβ-specific Th2 cells are sufficient to reverse cognitive impairment and provide multiple pathological benefits in an Alzheimer’s mouse model.
