Abstract	We tested the hypothesis that γδ T cells are a component of an early immune response directed against preerythrocytic malaria parasites that are required for the induction of an effector αβ T-cell immune response generated by irradiated-sporozoite (irr-spz) immunization. γδ T-cell-deficient (TCRδ−/−) mice on a C57BL/6 background were challenged with Plasmodium yoelii (17XNL strain) sporozoites, and then liver parasite burden was measured at 42 h postchallenge. Liver parasite burden was measured by quantification of parasite-specific 18S rRNA in total liver RNA by quantitative-competitive reverse transcription-PCR and by an automated 5′ exonuclease PCR. Sporozoite-challenged TCRδ−/− mice showed a significant (P < 0.01) increase in liver parasite burden compared to similarly challenged immunocompetent mice. In support of this result, TCRδ−/− mice were also found to be more susceptible than immunocompetent mice to a sporozoite challenge when blood-stage parasitemia was used as a readout. A greater percentage of TCRδ−/− mice than of immunocompetent mice progressed to a blood-stage infection when challenged with five or fewer sporozoites (odds ratio = 2.35, P = 0.06). TCRδ−/− mice receiving a single irr-spz immunization showed percent inhibition of liver parasites comparable to that of immunized immunocompetent mice following a sporozoite challenge. These data support the hypothesis that γδ T cells are a component of early immunity directed against malaria preerythrocytic parasites and suggest that γδ T cells are not required for the induction of an effector αβ T-cell immune response generated by irr-spz immunization.
