BLIMP1-mediated IL-10 production by Tr1 cells was recently reported in experimental malaria (97), and BLIMP1-dependent IL-10 production by Tr1 cells protected against IFNγ-dependent, TNF-mediated splenic tissue damage, but also limited the control of P. chabaudi AS blood parasitemia (110). Here, PRDM1 is linked to malaria.
