Toll‐Like Receptor Modulation of Murine Cerebral Malaria Is Dependent on the Genetic Background of the Host
15 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Infection with Plasmodium berghei ANKA is a well-established model of human cerebral malaria (CM). We show herein that Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling influences the development of lethal CM in P. berghei ANKA-infected mice. Modulation of outcome was dependent on genetic background, such that deletion of myeloid differentiation factor (MyD) 88 on the susceptible C57BL/6 background resulted in resistance to CM,...
