  abstract  = {Leishmanien besitzen eine Vielzahl von Mechanismen, die humorale und zellul{\"a}re Immunabwehr effektiv zu unterlaufen. Diese h{\"a}ngen eng mit der Expression von haupts{\"a}chlich zwei Glykokonjugaten auf der Parasitenoberfl{\"a}che zusammen, dem gp63 und dem Lipophosphoglykan. Die Parasiten sind einerseits schlechte Aktivatoren des alternativen Komplementweges und umgehen damit ihre eigene extrazellul{\"a}re Lyse. Oberfl{\"a}chengebundene Komplementfaktoren f{\"o}rdern andererseits die Aufnahme der Leishmanien durch Makrophagen. Solange diese nicht durch T-Zellen aktiviert sind, dienen sie den Parasiten als "Refugium". Dies gilt insbesondere, als Leishmanien in der Lage sind, 1. den "oxidative burst" zu hemmen; 2. toxische Sauerstoffmetaboliten zu entgiften; 3. abbauende lysosomale Enzyme zu hemmen und 4. das saure Milieu in den Lysosomen f{\"u}r ihren eigenen Metabolismus auszunutzen. Schließlich unterlaufen Leishmanien die zellul{\"a}re Immunabwehr des Wirts, indem sie die Aktivierung von T-Lymphozyten hemmen und die Expansion von T-Zell-Sub-populationen bewirken, die f{\"u}r ihr eigenes {\"U}berleben n{\"u}tzlich sind.},

  abstract  = {The expression of T-cell-associated serine proteinase 1 (MTSP-1) in vivo during Leishmania major infection was analyzed in genetically resistant C57BL/6 mice and in genetically susceptible BALB/c mice. Using a monoclonal antibody as well as an RNA probe specific for MTSP-1 to stain tissue sections, we found T cells expressing MTSP-1 in skin lesions and spleens of mice of both strains. In skin lesions, MTSP-1-positive T cells could be detected as early as 3 days after infection. Most importantly, the frequency of T cells expressing MTSP-1 was significantly higher in susceptible BALB/c mice than in resistant C57BL/6 mice. These findings suggest that MTSP-1 is associated with disease-promoting T cells and that it may be an effector molecule involved in the pathogenesis of cutaneous leishmaniasis.},

  abstract  = {We have recently demonstrated that the frequency ofT cells expressing granzyme A is significantly higher in skin lesions and spleens of susceptible BALB/c mice compared with resistant C57BL/6 mice infected with Leishmania major, a cause of human cutaneous leishmaniasis. In the present study, we have performed in vitro studies to characterize the subpopulation, the antigen responsiveness and the lymphokine production pattern of granzyme A-expressing T cells in L. major-infected mice. Using a limiting dilution system for functional analysis of selected T cells at the clonallevel, we could show that granzyme A activity in infected BALB/c mice can be assigned to L. major-reactive CD4\(^+\) T cells secreting interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-4. Granzyme A production was most pronounced in the early phase of infection. On the other hand, granzyme A expression could not be detected in C57BL/6-derived T cells responding to L. major. The da ta support the suggestion that granzyme A is produced by L. major-responsive CD4\(^+\) T cells facilitating lesion formation and the dissemination of infection.},
