Resistance of regulatory T cells to glucocorticoid-induced [corrected] TNFR family-related protein (GITR) during Plasmodium yoelii infection.
CD4+ T cells are the major effector T cells against blood-stage Plasmodium yoelii infection. On the other hand, the lethal strain of P. yoelii (PyL) has acquired an escape mechanism from host T cell immunity by activating CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg).
