The threshold of protection from liver-stage malaria relies on a fine balance between the number of infected hepatocytes and effector CD8+ T cells present in the liver
Since the demonstration of sterile protection afforded by injection of irradiated sporozoites, CD8+ T cells have been shown to play a significant role in protection from liver-stage malaria. This is, however, dependent on the presence of an extremely high number of circulating effector cells, though...
