Journal ArticleDOI

IP-10-mediated T cell homing promotes cerebral inflammation over splenic immunity to malaria infection.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that modulating homing of cellular immune responses to malaria is critical for reaching a balance between protective immunity and immunopathogenesis and demonstrate that lack of IP-10 during infection significantly reduces peripheral parasitemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Early Interferon-γ Production with Immunity to Clinical Malaria: A Longitudinal Study among Papua New Guinean Children

TL;DR: High, early IFN-gamma production by live parasite-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells is a correlate of immunity to symptomatic malaria in Papua New Guinean children, and natural killer-like gammadelta T cells may contribute to protection.
Journal ArticleDOI

NK cells stimulate recruitment of CXCR3+ T cells to the brain during Plasmodium berghei-mediated cerebral malaria.

TL;DR: It is shown that NK cells are required for cerebral malaria disease induction and the control of parasitemia, and this chemokine pathway plays an essential role in leukocyte trafficking leading to cerebral disease and fatalities.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for Blimp1 in the transcriptional network controlling natural killer cell maturation.

TL;DR: NK cells are identified as the first hematopoietic cell type in which the IRF4-Blimp1-Bcl6 regulatory axis is not in operation, highlighting the distinct nature of the NK-cell gene-regulatory network.
