This can lead to (a) improved B cell survival, (b) IgM antibody secretion, (c) IgG and IgA isotype switching and (d) somatic hypermutation induction.27 Finally, neutrophils can positively regulate antigen‐specific T cell responses and can act as antigen‐presenting cells.28, 29 Collectively, these neutrophil effector functions could all contribute to parasitemia control by triggering both innate and adaptive defence responses. This evidence concerns the gene CD79A and parasitic infectious disease.
