CXCL10 and malaria: For example, recent human and murine gene knock out studies suggest that plasma levels of Interferon inducible protein 10 (IP-10; CXCL10) [32], soluble TNF receptor 2 (sTNF-R2) [33] and soluble Fas (sFas) [34] predict risk of malaria related mortality and may be potential biomarkers of CM severity.
