RESUMO

Analisaram-se as respostas Th1 e Th2 desencadeadas por Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulento em doentes com tuberculose pulmonar (TP) e em dadores saudáveis vacinados pela BCG. Efectuaramse comparações entre a capacidade que as células T apresentavam para proliferar e para produzir IFN-γ e IL-5 em resposta aos derivados de proteíns purificada (PPD), M. tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb), e M. tuberculosis H37Rv inactivado pelo calor (hk Mtb).

Este estudo demoostrou que os individuos saudá-vels vacínados com BCG evidenciaram um máximo de proliferação e produção de IFN-γ em resposta ao painel de antigénios, e que Mtb vívo destencadeou uma resposta significativamente mais forte que a obtida pelo Mtb inactivado pelo calor. Embora os doentes com tuberculose pulmonary mostrassem respostas medias mais baxies de proliferação e produção de IFN-γ cm relação aos eontrolos saúdaveis, a resposta proliferativa ao PPD não foi significativamente reduzida, enquanto que a resposta ao Mtb e hk Mtb foram, significativas estatisticamitante. Em conclusão na tuberculose pulmonar a produção de IFN-γ pode estar reduzida sem um concomitante aumento de IL-5, confirmandose assim não existir uma mudança de resposta Th1 para Th2 na tuberculose pulmonar.

ABSTRACT

The contribution of Th1 and Th2 responses elicited by virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis was investigated, in healthy BCG vaccinated individuals and pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Comparisons were made between the T cell capacity to proliferate, produce IFN-γ and IL-5 in response to the soluable antigen purified protein derivative (PPD), live M. tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb) and heat killed M tuberculosis H37Rv (hk Mtb). These studies demonstrated that control individuals showed the strongest mean proliferative and IFN-γ responses towards the antigen antigen panel and Mth elicited a significantly stronger response than hk Mtb. Although, pulmonary tuberculosis patients showed lower mean proliferation and IFN-γ towards all the antigen when compared to that control group, proliferative responses to PPD were found not to be significantly reduced, while the reduction in the response to Mtb and hk Mtb preparations were statistically significant. In conclusion, in pulmonary tuberculose infection mean prodution of IFN-γ may be reduced but no concomitant increase in IL-5 production occurred. These data confirm that there is no switch from a Th1 response to a Th2 response in tuberculosis infection.
