Prenatal immune priming to Plasmodium falciparum is characterized by multi-lineage T-cell responses that are influenced by maternal microchimerism and predict malaria outcomes

姜永厚, Florian A. Bach, John Houck, Marc Carlson, Almahamoudou Mahamar, Santara Gaoussou, Oumar Attaher, Robert Morrison, Sudhir Kumar, Blair Armistead, Irfan Zaidi, Stefan H. I. Kappe, Alassane Dicko, Patrick A. Duffy, Michal Fried, , Whitney E. Harrington

Maternal microchimerism in Malian cord blood is associated with fewer Pf-responsive ZBTB16+ CD4 and Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, and with infant malaria outcomes.
