The effect of CRX-527 on pro-inflammatory cytokine production against mycobacterium bovis BCG clone expressing the c-terminus of merozoite surface protein-1 of plasmodium falciparum

Malaria infection is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in African and Southeast Asian countries. TLR-4 has been shown to be important in malaria immunity and can be possibly use as an adjuvant to enhance the long-lasting immune response against BCG-MSP1C. This research was conducted to dete...

This research was conducted to determine the effects of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) agonist, CRX527, on cellular and humoral immune response against Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) expressing the C-terminus of merozoite surface protein-1 of Plasmodium falciparum (BCG-MSP1C).
