Abstract

A CD4⁺ T cell clone (A1.6) was derived from spleen cells of mice immunized with irradiated sporozoites. This T cell clone recognizes an antigen that is shared by sporozoites and blood forms of Plasmodium berghei and differs from the circumsporozoite protein. Clone A1.6 displays cytotoxic activity, produces IFN-γ and IL-2 in vitro, and recognizes the plasmodial antigen in the context of the class II I-E^d molecule. Passive transfer of this CD4⁺ clone into naive mice resulted in a high degree of protection against sporozoite challenge.
