Angiotensin II is a new component involved in splenic T lymphocyte responses during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.

Angiotensin II is a new component involved in splenic T lymphocyte responses during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.

The contribution of T cells in severe malaria pathogenesis has been described. Here, we provide evidence for the potential role of angiotensin II (Ang II) in modulating splenic T cell responses in a rodent model of cerebral malaria. T cell activation induced by infection, determined by 3 to 4-fold e...
