- Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection in children is associated with increased auto-antibody production, high IL-10 plasma levels and antibodies to merozoite surface protein 3Publication . Guiyedi, Vincent; Bécavin, Christophe; Herbert, Fabien; Gray, Julian; Cazenave, Pierre-André; Kombila, Maryvonne; Crisanti, Andrea; Fesel, Constantin; Pied, SylvianeMechanisms of acquired protection to malaria in asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum carriers are only partially understood. Among them, the role plays by the self-reactive antibodies has not been clarified yet. In this study, the relationship between repertoires of circulating self-reactive and parasite-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG), their correlation with cytokine levels, and their association with protection against malaria was investigated in asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum-infected Gabonese children.
