摘要: The importance of dendritic cells (DCs) for the initiation and regulation immune responses not only to foreign organisms but also self has raised considerable interest in qualitative quantitative analysis these various human diseases. Plasmodium falciparum malaria is characterized by poor induction long-lasting protective responses. This study, therefore, investigated percentage peripheral blood DCs as lineage marker-negative HLA-DR(+) or CD83(+) healthy children suffering from acute Kilifi, Kenya. Comparable percentages were found with malaria. However, was significantly reduced results suggest that a proportion may be functionally impaired due low expression HLA-DR on their surface.
