Maternal schistosomiasis: IL-2, IL-10 and regulatory T lymphocytes to unrelated antigen in adult offspring mice

We used animals born (BIM) or suckled (SIM) from infected mothers; and mice born/suckled from infected (BSIM) or non-infected mothers (CONTROL). After OA+adjuvant immunization, spleen cells were cultured, with or without OA, and doubly marked for cytometry.

RESULTS:

BIM showed fewer CD4+/IL-2+ and more B220+/IL-10+ cells, whereas the SIM group showed increased Treg frequency. BSIM had fewer B220+/IL-10+ and Treg cells.

CONCLUSIONS:

Separately, gestation or nursing induced immunosuppressive cells in infected mothers, but improved anti-OA immunity when combined.

Frequency of CD4+ and IL-2+(A) or FoxP3+(B) cells in adult mice born (BIM) or suckling in infected mothers (SIM); mice born and suckling in infected (BSIM) or non-infected mothers (CONTROL) when immunized with OA+CFA. 5 × 10⁵ cells cultured with OA (500µg/ml), or not, were labeled with FITC anti-CD4 and PerCP anti-IL2 (A) or PE anti-FoxP3 (B). SIM: suckling in infected mothers; BSIM: born and suckling from infected mothers; BIM: born from infected mothers; CONTROL: non-infected mothers; OA: ovalbumin; CD4+: cluster of differentiation 4+; IL: interleukin; CFA: complete Freund’s adjuvant; FITC: fluoresceína isotiocianato; PE: phycoerythrin. *p <0.05 when compared to respective CONTROL groups.
