Chora and colleagues show that infection of the liver by Plasmodium modulates severity of disease in the experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) model by generating gamma delta (ɣδ) T cells that produce IL-17. This work calls into question the long-standing assumption that liver infection does not modulate severity of malaria.
乔拉及其同事的研究表明,疟原虫感染肝脏会通过产生白细胞介素 17(IL-17)的 γδ(ɣδ)T 细胞来调节实验性脑疟疾(ECM)模型的疾病严重程度。这项工作对肝脏感染不调节疟疾严重程度的长期假设提出了质疑。
