摘要:
Trypanosoma cruzi(T.cruzi),the etiological agent of Chagas disease,affects nearly 18 million people in Latin America and 90 million are at risk of infection.The parasite presents two stages of medical importance in the host,the amastigote,intracellular replicating form,and the extracellular trypomastigote,the infective form.Thus infection by T.cruzi induces a complex immune response that involves effectors and regulatory mechanisms.That is why control of the infection requires a strong humoral and cellular immune response;hence,the outcome of host-parasite interaction in the early stages of infection is extremely important.A critical event during this period of the infection is innate immune response,in which the macrophage’s role is vital.Thus,after being phagocytized,the parasite is able to develop intracellularly;however,during later periods,these cells induce its elimination by means of toxic metabolites.In turn,as the infection progresses,adaptive immune response mechanisms are triggered through the TH1 and TH2 responses.Finally,T.cruzi,like other protozoa such as Leishmania and Toxoplasma,have numerous evasive mechanisms to the immune response that make it possible to spread around the host.In our Laboratory we have developed a vaccination model in mice with Trypanosoma rangeli,nonpathogenic to humans,which modulates the immune response to infection by T.cruzi,thus protecting them.Vaccinated animals showed an important innate response(modulation of NO and other metabolites,cytokines,activation of macrophages),a strong adaptive cellular response and significant increase in specific antibodies.The modulation caused early elimination of the parasites,low parasitaemia,the absence of histological lesions and high survival rates.Even though progress has been made in the knowledge of some of these mechanisms,new studies must be conducted which could target further prophylactic and therapeutic trials against T.cruzi infection.
