  • Title: Suppression of T-cell responsiveness during tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis in cattle.
    Author: Sileghem M, Flynn JN.
    Journal: Scand J Immunol Suppl; 1992; 11():37-40. PubMed ID: 1355308.
    Abstract:
    In the present study, we demonstrate that lymph node cells from cattle infected with T. congolense through tsetse fly challenge were unable to proliferate in vitro following activation with the T-cell mitogen Concanavalin A. This was associated with a simultaneous suppression of interleukin 2 (IL-2) production and interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) expression. However, the capacity of the cells to secrete interferon gamma following the mitogenic activation was not affected by the infection.
