Finally, the increased expression of interferon-gamma (XP_001377372.1, Additional file 1: Table S4-B) and interleukin 2 receptor (NP_990,197.1, Additional file 1: Table S6 and S8) represent potentially important immune responses given that these are critical elements of the resting memory of malaria-exposure in memory T-cells in humans [60]. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is malaria.
