Perturbation and Proinflammatory Type Activation of Vδ1+γδ T Cells in African Children withPlasmodium falciparumMalaria

gamma delta T cells have variously been implicated in the protection against, and the pathogenesis of, malaria, but few studies have examined the gamma delta T-cell response to malaria in African children, who suffer the large majority of malaria-associated morbidity and mortality. This is unfortunate, since available data suggest that simple extrapolation of conclusions drawn from studies of nonimmune adults ex...
