Limited Role of CD4+Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells in the Control of Experimental Cerebral Malaria
4 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Cerebral malaria (CM) associated with Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA) infection is an accepted model of human CM. CM during PbA infection critically depends on sequestration of T cells into the brain. Several studies aimed to address the role of regulatory T cells (T(reg)) in modulating this pathogenic T cell response. However, these studies are principally hampered due to the fact that until recently no reagents...
