Sprague-Dawley rats infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei showed a strong and rapid induction of splenocyte IFN-gamma (within 12 h post-infection) as measured by a single cell assay for IFN-gamma secretion. Depletion of CD8+ cells in infected rats abrogated the IFN-gamma production, suppressed parasite growth and increased survival of the animals. Induction of MHC class I antigens in the paraventricular and supra-optic hypothalamic nuclei caused by the trypanosome infection was also inhibited by the CD8+ cell depletion. It is suggested that the CD8+ cells are involved directly or indirectly in growth regulation of the parasite and that IFN-gamma induced by the parasite may be one of the factors that trigger MHC expression and immunosuppression.
