Abstract

ABSTRACT Infection with Plasmodium berghei ANKA induces cerebral malaria in susceptible mice. Brain-sequestered CD8 + T cells are responsible for this pathology. We have evaluated the role of CCR2, a chemokine receptor expressed on CD8 + T cells. Infected CCR2-deficient mice were as susceptible to cerebral malaria as wild-type mice were, and CD8 + T-cell migration to the brain was not abolished.
