Cytokine profiling in immigrants with clinical malaria after extended periods of interrupted exposure to Plasmodium falciparum.

Immunity to malaria is believed to wane with time in the absence of exposure to Plasmodium falciparum infection, but immunoepidemiological data on longevity of immunity remain controversial. We quantified serum cytokines and chemokines by suspension array technology as potential biomarkers for durab...

Cytokine profiling in immigrants with clinical malaria after extended periods of interrupted exposure to Plasmodium falciparum.
