Depletion of regulatory T cells augments a vaccine-induced T effector cell response against the liver-stage of malaria but fails to increase memory.

Regulatory T cells (T(reg)) have been shown to restrict vaccine-induced T cell responses in different experimental models. In these studies CD4(+)CD25(+) T(reg) were depleted using monoclonal antibodies against CD25, which might also interfere with CD25 on non-regulatory T cell populations and would...
