Abstract
Compared to C57BL/6 wild-type mice, interleukin-15(-/-) (IL-15(-/-)) mice showed delayed clearance of Plasmodium chabaudi AS infection, lower type 1 cytokine production, impaired dendritic cell and NK cell functions, and lower titers of malaria-specific antibodies. Thus, IL-15 supports early control and timely resolution of blood-stage malaria through promotion of Th1-dependent innate and adaptive immune responses.Entities:
