Asymptomatic plasmodial infection is associated with increased tumor necrosis factor receptor II-expressing regulatory T cells and suppressed type 2 immune responses

Abstract

Malaria parasites associated with asymptomatic infections seem to result in increased TNFRII expression on Tregs, as well as suppressed Th2 cytokine responses, features that might be important for survival of the parasites in asymptomatic carriers.
