Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes induce granzyme B by NK cells through expression of host-Hsp70.
In the early immune response to Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (iRBC), Natural Killer (NK) cells are activated, which suggests an important role in innate anti-parasitic immunity. However, it is not well understood whether NK cells directly recognize iRBC or whether stimulation of NK ce...
