Role of Interferon in Experimental Mouse Malaria

INTERFERENCE with experimental plasmodial infections by associated infectious agents has been previously described (West Nile virus 1 ; Chlamydia psittaci , an ornithosis strain 2 ; bacterial endotoxin 3 ), but observations were not made to determine whether the effects observed were mediated by int...

Description
Summary:INTERFERENCE with experimental plasmodial infections by associated infectious agents has been previously described (West Nile virus 1 ; Chlamydia psittaci , an ornithosis strain 2 ; bacterial endotoxin 3 ), but observations were not made to determine whether the effects observed were mediated by interferon. These reports and our own findings 4 of induction of interferon by P. berghei infection in mice led us to further investigation of mouse malaria in relation to interferon.
