A role for CD4+ and CD8+ cells and not for CD25+ cells in the control of Plasmodium berghei Anka blood stage parasites in rats

A role for CD4+ and CD8+ cells and not for CD25+ cells in the control of Plasmodium berghei Anka blood stage parasites in rats

In previous studies of the infection of rats by P. berghei Anka, we have shown that primary blood stage infection induced the expansion of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells in adult resistant rats while the number of CD4+CD25+ cells was found to be higher in young susceptible rats. In this work, the res...
