    AnnotationRecovery from CL is usually accompanied with long-lasting protection and induction of strong immune response. The phenotypes, generation and maintenance of central (=T-CM) and effector (=T-EM) memory T cell subsets in human leishmaniasis are not well known. Profile of T cell subsets were analyzed on peripheral CD8(+) T cells from volunteers with history of cutaneous leishmaniasis (HCL). In HCL and control groups, mean frequencies of CCR7(+)CD45RA(+)CD8(+) naive and CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)CD8(+) T-EM cells were higher than other subsets before culture, but after stimulation with soluble Leishmania antigen, the frequency of naive T cells was significantly decreased and the frequency of T-EM cells was significantly increased. T-EM phenotype composed the highest portion of proliferating Carboxy Fluorescein diacetate Succinimidyl Ester (CFSE)-dim population which was significantly higher in HCL volunteers than in control group. Stimulation of isolated CD8(+) memory T cells, but not naive T cells, from HCL volunteers induced a significantly higher IFN-gamma production compared with that of healthy controls. Intracellular IFN-gamma staining provided the same result. Memory population is shown to be responsible for Leishniania-induced IFN-gamma production. Leishmania-reactive proliferating T-EM cells were identified as the most frequent subset which may play a role in recall immune response and protection against Leishmania infection.
