Comparative study between non lethal and lethal strains of Plasmodium yoelii with reference to its immunological aspect.

Innate immunity has an important role in the protection against malaria. To clarify the effect on non lethal and lethal strain of Plasmodium yoelii, comparison between two groups of C57BL/6 mice infected with 10(4) parasitized RBCs was performed. Liver and spleen mononuclear cells were isolated and analyzed by flow cytometry.
