To label Plasmodium-specific T cells, in vivo BrdU labeling was performed (days 3 to 10 or 20 to 30 p.i.)in infected IFN-γ reporter mice, followed by elimination of persistent parasitemia using chloroquine (CQ) treatment (days 30 to 34 p.i.)(Fig. 6A). This evidence concerns the gene IFNG and parasitic infectious disease.
