Neospora caninum infects bovine hosts giving rise to pro-inflammatory immune responses that can result in foetal death or spontaneous abortion, this appears to be mediated by the actions of IFN-γ on cell activation and migration/trafficking. Yet successful vaccination or natural immunity is also strongly correlated with IFN-γ production. We utilised in vitro infection of bovine macrophages to prime naive T-cell responses. Naive T-cells in contact with infected macrophages produce both IFN-γ and IL-17 in a pattern that is dependent on whether the priming macrophage was protected or non-protected. Our results may explain the apparent dual role of IFN-γ during infection if a second major pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-17, is produced simultaneously.
