Immune surveillance of the CNS during malaria infection
Objectives
This project will investigate the mechanisms of CNS injury and provide fundamental information about T cell responses in the CNS during infection.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
Infections in the central nervous system (CNS) can have profound neurological complications. Neurological disease caused by cerebral malaria (CM) is a lethal complication in humans. A new model of longitudinal imaging of T cell responses have been established in the brain during experimental CM in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA.
