Natural killer (NK) cells are known to be activated during malaria infection, exhibiting both cytokine production and cytotoxic functions. However, NK cells are heterogeneous in their expression of surface activatory and inhibitory receptors which may influence their response to malaria parasites.

Although there was significant inter-patient variab ...[more]
