Dendritic cells and macrophages generate discrete CD8+ T-cell responses in cerebral malaria. a Timeline of infection and readout with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. b Representative flow plots and c−g quantification demonstrate a reduction proportion and number of brain-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, but not CD45hi immune cells or CD4+ T cells (N = 14, 3, 3, 5 per group, respectively). h No difference in proportion of parasitized red blood cells was found between cre-negative littermates and conditional knockout stains 6 days post infection (N = 10, 8, 10 per group, respectively). Data presented as mean with error bars representing standard error of the mean (SEM). * denotes p < 0.05 by Mann−Whitney U Test or one-way ANOVA with Holm−Sidak correction
