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 …

Antibodies acquired naturally through repeated exposure to Plasmodium falciparum are
essential in the control of blood-stage malaria. Antibody-dependent functions may include …

Human NK cells can respond rapidly to Plasmodium falciparum-infected RBC (iRBC) to
produce IFN-γ. In this study, we have examined the heterogeneity of this response among …

Quantification of human peripheral blood NK subsets has been made in a group of Kenyan
adults and children with acute P. falciparum malaria. Results were compared with data …

Rapid cell-mediated immune responses, characterized by production of proinflammatory
cytokines, such as IFN-γ, can inhibit intraerythrocytic replication of malaria parasites and …

NK cells are rapid IFN‐γ responders to Plasmodium falciparum‐infected erythrocytes
(PfRBC) in vitro and are involved in controlling early parasitaemia in murine models, yet little …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important innate effector cells that are well described in their
ability to kill virally-infected cells and tumors. However, there is increasing appreciation for …

How antibodies naturally acquired during Plasmodium falciparum infection provide clinical
immunity to blood-stage malaria is unclear. We studied the function of natural killer (NK) …

Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria, have a complex life cycle. The exponential
growth of the parasites during the blood stage is responsible for almost all malaria …

The recent demonstration that purified natural killer (NK) cells lyse Plasmodium falciparum–
parasitized red blood cells (Pf-pRBCs) suggests that innate immunity is important in malaria …
