The role of Plasmodium knowlesi in the history of malaria research.

abstract：:The dynamic interaction of cells of the immune system with other cells, antigens and secreted factors determines the nature of an immune response. The response of individual cells is governed by the sequence of intracellular signalling events triggered following the association of cell surface molecules during cell-ce...
