immune system
• after malarial infection, large populations of B220+CD3+ cells which are extrathymic T cells (CD3+) carrying a B cell marker (B220+) appear in the livers; this is not seen in the spleens of any mice after infection
• there is an increase of 40% of gamma,delta T cells in DBA/2 mice during infection; most of these are CD4-CD8-
|
• levels of Ifng and Il4 are lower than in B6 mice with malarial infection
|
• level of IgM autoantibody is increase to a greater extent than in B6 mice
|
• recovery from malaria is similar to DBA/2 mice, faster than in B6 mice
|
hematopoietic system
• after malarial infection, large populations of B220+CD3+ cells which are extrathymic T cells (CD3+) carrying a B cell marker (B220+) appear in the livers; this is not seen in the spleens of any mice after infection
• there is an increase of 40% of gamma,delta T cells in DBA/2 mice during infection; most of these are CD4-CD8-
|
• decrease in hematocrit is less than in infected C57BL/6 mice
|
liver/biliary system
• liver injury as estimated by GPT serum levels is lower than in infected B6 mice
