Outcomes of controlled human malaria infection after BCG vaccination
Immune activation induces long-term alterations of setpoints, impacting responses to subsequent unrelated stimuli. Here the authors show that volunteers vaccinated with BCG respond to controlled human malaria infection with increased clinical symptoms and an inverse correlation between immune activa...
