Both functional LTbeta receptor and TNF receptor 2 are required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria.
<h4>Background</h4>TNF-related lymphotoxin alpha (LTalpha) is essential for the development of Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA)-induced experimental cerebral malaria (ECM). The pathway involved has been attributed to TNFR2. Here we show a second arm of LTalpha-signaling essential for ECM de...
