Abstract

ABSTRACT In murine Lyme borreliosis, the absence of γδ T lymphocytes augments the T helper cell 2 type humoral response but does not alter disease susceptibility. Arthropod transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes results in similar antibody isotypes when γδ T cells are present, suggesting that vector effects can negate γδ T-cell functions in vivo.
