Abstract
The role of antigen-presenting cells in the differential expansion of TH1 and TH2 T cells in murine leishmaniasis was investigated. In general, macrophages preferentially induced gamma interferon and interleukin-2 secretion by syngeneic Leishmania-specific T cells, whereas B cells were more efficient in activating interleukin 4 production. B cells from susceptible BALB/c mice were better in inducing TH2 responses than B cells from resistant C57BL/6 mice, whereas macrophages from C57BL/6 mice were superior to BALB/c macrophages in inducing TH1 responses.Entities:
