INTRODUCTION: T cell mediated immunity (T-CMI) is an important component of effective host immunity against intracellular pathogens such as Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi; ST). Baseline T-CMI responsiveness to S. Typhi has been previously described in healthy individuals, likely reflecting cross-reactive responsiveness to other Enterobacteriaceae within the gut microbiota. Interestingly, T cell baseline responsiveness has been associated with protection or susceptibility in a human challenge model following exposure to wild-type (wt) ST. To better understand the contribution of this baseline responsiveness to immunity against ST infection, an in-depth characterization of T cell immunity is needed.
METHODS: Here, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from eighteen healthy volunteers with no history of typhoid fever vaccination or infection were co-cultured with autologous B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) previously infected with wt ST as antigen presenting cells. Non-infected B-LCL (NI) were used as controls. After 18 h or 40 h of stimulation, cells were stained with a 52-parameter mass cytometry antibody panel and analyzed using manual gating, dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering approaches. We studied conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T memory cells, including T effector memory (TEM), TEM re-expressing CD45RA (TEMRA), and T central memory (TCM), CD4+ and CD8+ T stem cell memory (TSCM), CD4+ circulating T follicular helper (cTFH), CD4+ T regulatory (Treg), and CD8+ T regulatory precursors (Trp), as well as non-conventional CD8+ mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT), T gamma delta (Tγδ), and Natural-Killer T (NKT) cells.
RESULTS: All studied cell subsets showed significant (p<0.01) baseline responsiveness to ST-infected target cells when compared to NI target cells. Most functional responses were observed in activation, homing, and cytotoxicity markers across all conventional and non-conventional T cell subsets, defining in great depth the characteristics of baseline T-CMI to S. Typhi.
DISCUSSION: This high-dimensional approach showed a complex interaction between distinct cell subsets with multifunctional properties and extended previous insights into the baseline T-CMI to S. Typhi. This will help guide future investigations of immunity in healthy individuals following infection or vaccination.
