CD4-positive T cell clones with specificity for the protozoan parasite Leishmania major (L. major) of both the protective TH1 and the disease-exacerbating TH2 subtype were isolated from a diseased L. major-infected mouse of the susceptible BALB/c strain. In addition, TH2 cells were isolated from the lesion-draining lymph nodes of an animal clinically healed nine months after sublethal irradiation and subsequent infection. Our data support the notion that the differential outcome of the disease in non-irradiated versus irradiated BALB/c mice reflects the regulation of the two CD4+ T cell subsets. These data also argue against the possibilities that: 1) TH2 cells and their precursors are totally eliminated by irradiation and that 2) TH2 cells are capable of completely hindering the expansion of TH1 cells in diseased animals.
