Journal ArticleDOI

A rapid and robust tri-color flow cytometry assay for monitoring malaria parasite development

TL;DR: A fast and simple flow cytometry method to quantify and stage, various malaria parasites in red blood cells in whole blood or in vitro cultured Plasmodium falciparum is developed and demonstrated how this technique can be applied to antimalarial drug testing.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD8+ T cells and IFN-γ mediate the time-dependent accumulation of infected red blood cells in deep organs during experimental cerebral malaria.

TL;DR: CD8+ T cells and IFN-γ are the major immune mediators controlling the time-dependent accumulation of P. berghei-infected red blood cells in tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain microvessel cross-presentation is a hallmark of experimental cerebral malaria

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that PbA infection causes brain microvessels to cross‐present parasite antigen, while non‐ECM‐causing parasites do not, and combined therapies targeting both the parasite and host antigen‐presenting cells may improve the outcome of CM patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral malaria: Mysteries at the blood-brain barrier

TL;DR: The most recent findings from human studies and mouse models on the interactions of malaria parasites and the blood-brain barrier are reviewed, shedding light on the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria, which may provide directions for possible interventions.
