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…·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.
