Résumé : Fighting trypanosomiasis with an anti-trypanosome vaccine is ineffective, the parasite being protected by a Variable Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) whose structure is modified at each peak of parasitaemia, which allows it to escape the host's immune defenses. However, the host immunization against an essential factor for the survival of the parasite or the expression of its pathogenicity could achieve the same objective. Here we present the results of mouse immunization against the Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP), a protein present in the Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (Tbg) secretome, the parasite responsible for human trypanosomiasis. Mice immunization was followed by infection with Tbg parasites. The production of IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a begun after the second TCTP injection and was dose-dependant, the maximum level of anti-TCTP antibodies remained stable up to 4 days post-infection and then decreased. Regarding cytokines (IL-2, 4, 6, 10, INFγ, TNFα), the most striking result was their total suppression after immunization with the highest TCTP dose. Compared to the control group, the immunized mice displayed a reduced first peak of parasitaemia, a 100% increase in the time to onset of the second peak, and an increased time of mice survival. The effect of immunization was only transient but demonstrated the likely important role that TCTP plays in host-parasite interactions and that some key parasite proteins could reduce infection impact.
