Abstract excerpt
It is now generally accepted that peripheral blood of humans not exposed previously to malaria contains T cells which proliferate vigorously in response to malaria parasites and antigens. Although it has been claimed that these cells express a memory phenotype, their origin is uncertain. We have...
