Hepatic γδ NKT cells modulate liver-resident CD8+ T cells to attenuated malaria parasite vaccines
2026-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium parasites develop in the liver and egress to infect red blood cells, causing malaria. Vaccines that generate hepatic CD8+ T cells eliminate liver-stage parasites and prevent disease, yet how these T cells are induced is incompletely understood. We report that in mice vaccinated with replication-competent genetically attenuated Plasmodium parasites, antagonism of γδ T cell function curtails protection. V...
