The Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite (CS) protein-specific T-cell repertoire was analysed in C57Bl/6 (H-2b), Balb/c (H-2d), and C3H/HeN (H-2k) mice immunized with irradiated sporozoites and the proliferative responses were correlated with the protective status of each strain. Splenic lymphocytes responded to the priming antigen, but the responses varied according to both murine strain and immunization schedule. Analysis of cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in mice immunized with irradiated P. berghei sporozoites or with a Salmonella-recombinant CS protein construct revealed that each immunization induces CTLs recognizing different epitopes on the target cells. The variations in immune reactivities among different murine strains to the CS protein antigens and the variations in the responses to the authentic versus recombinantly expressed CS protein suggest that distinct immune mechanisms may be involved in rendering immune protection. Furthermore, the molecular context of the immunizing antigen may influence the outcome of the fine specificity of T cells involved in immune protection.
