Little is known about the function and regulation of splenic gammadelta T cells during chronic Plasmodium chabaudi malaria. The splenic gammadelta T-cell population continues to expand, reaching levels equal to 4 times the number of splenocytes in an uninfected mouse. Splenic gammadelta T cells from J(H)-/- mice with chronic malaria expressed Vgamma1+ or Vdelta4+ in the same ratio as uninfected controls with Vgamma1 cells dominating, but the Vgamma2 ratio declined about twofold. Gammadelta T cells from G8 mice specific for the TL antigen increased only 2-fold in number, compared with 10-fold in BALB/c controls, but G8 gammadelta T cells failed to express the B220 activation marker. Elimination of the parasite by drug treatment caused a slow depletion in the number of splenic gammadelta, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells. Following challenge, drug-cured J(H)-/- mice exhibited nearly identical parasitemia time courses as naïve controls. Depletion of either CD4+ T cells or gammadelta T cells from chronically infected J(H)-/- mice by monoclonal antibody treatment resulted in an immediate and significant (P &lt; 0.05) exacerbation of parasitemia coupled with a marked decrease in splenic gammadelta T-cell numbers. The number of CD4+ T cells, in contrast, did not decrease in mice after anti-T-cell receptor gammadelta treatment. The results indicate that cell-mediated immunity against blood-stage malarial parasites during chronic malaria (i) requires the continued presence of blood-stage parasites to remain functional, (ii) is dependent upon both gammadelta T cells and CD4+ T cells, and (iii) lacks immunological memory.
