Plasmodium falciparum PfEMP1 modulates monocyte/macrophage transcription factor activation, and cytokine and chemokine responses
- Abstract:
-
Immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria is slow to develop, and it is often asserted that malaria suppresses host immunity, although this is poorly understood and the molecular basis for such activity remains unknown. P. falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a virulence factor that plays a key role in parasite-host interactions. We investigated the immunosuppressive effect of PfEMP1 on monocytes/macrophages, which are central to the anti-parasitic innate response. RAW macrop...
