CCR6 KO mice have a reduced IL-12 p70 secretion in the serum upon the PbNK65-iRBC challenge in comparison to WT mice - Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-12 p70 and IFN-γ, have been described as harmful factors for the malaria resistance induced by PbNK65-iRBCs in mice. Here, IFNG is linked to malaria.
