IFNG and malaria: NK and γδ T cells produce IFNγ in response to Pf infection.34, 35, 36 To gain a better understanding of IFNγ production by innate immune cells, including more recently identified ILC1s and innate‐like T cells, we examined these cell populations during an experimentally induced blood stage malaria infection in healthy volunteers with no prior exposure to malaria or residence in malaria‐endemic regions.37, 38 Human PBMCs were isolated from blood drawn prior to infection (day 0) and at 7 days postinfection (p.i.), prior to drug treatment (Figure 1a).
