Abstract:
Plasmodium falciparum GPI contributes to malaria pathology by inducing cytokine release. It has been shown to be recognized through TLR2 and to a lesser extent TLR4 in vitro. However, previous findings on the role of TLRs in parasite clearance or pathology in vivo are conflicting. Thus, we analyzed the impact of TLR-signalling on protection using the P. yoelii infection model. Deficiency of single TLRs as well as triple TLR2/4/9-deficiency had no impact on parasitaemia. In contrast, mice deficie...     »
