Involvement of chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules in the regulation of Experimental Cerebral Malaria.

Leukocytes in particular CD8+ T cells migration to the brain and parasite sequestration are involved in experimental cerebral malaria (ECM). We hypothesized that ECM is initiated by parasite sequestration in the brain, by adhering to endothelium and/or monocytes or macrophages. Firstly, we assessed...
