Abstract excerpt
We determined the requirement for selected lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in the pathogenesis of experimental murine cerebral malaria (CM) by using gene-targeted knockout and mAb-suppressed mice. Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection induced CM in A 0/0 mice, which lack expression of surface MHC class II glycoproteins and consequently express a severe and chronic reduction in numbers of CD4+ T cells.
