However, the cytokine profile of this population have been published and for malaria-infected individuals (M and CI groups) the profile showed high levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF, IL-10, and CRP and decreased levels of IL-17A while for malaria-negative individuals (IP and N) the profile was high levels of IL-17A, NO and decreased levels of IL-10 and CRP [20]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is malaria.
