Mice depleted of gamma delta T cells by monoclonal antibody treatment and infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA did not develop cerebral malaria (CM). In striking contrast, delta 0/0 mice infected with P. berghei developed CM despite their gamma delta T-cell deficiency. gamma delta T cells appear to be essential for the pathogenesis of CM in mice having experienced normal ontogeny but not in mice genetically deprived of gamma delta T cells from the beginning of life.
