The in vitro and in vivo antiamoebic cytotoxic effects of peritoneal exudate cells and mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes of gerbils with cecal amoebiasis or those immunized with amoebic extract were investigated. A differential effect of the lymphoid cells against trophozoites of nonpathogenic and pathogenic strains of Entamoeba histolytica was observed. Nonpathogenic amoebae were more susceptible to killing by lymphoid cells than pathogenic amoebae in vitro and in vivo in infected or immunized animals. These data suggest that during the course of cecal amoebiasis in gerbils, a differential stimulation or depletion of cytotoxic cells in the lymphoreticular tissues occurs, resulting in an impaired cell-mediated immune response.
