Almost 30% of GNLY-Tg mice treated with αCD8 died around 14 DPI and parasitemia of surviving mice reached 60% 19 DPI when all WT mice had cleared the infection, confirming the importance of CD8+ CTLs in control of P. yoelii 17XNL infection (Fig 7K). The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is parasitic infectious disease.
