This Project Grant award of $184,109, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research on modulating monocyte and T cell functions during subclinical malaria. The grantee, the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, will investigate the role of immune inhibitory receptors LILRB1 and LILRB2 in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses in children with transient versus chronic subclinical Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The research aims to define immunoregulatory phenotypes, assess monocyte function, and perform transcriptomic analysis to further understand the mechanisms underlying subclinical malaria and naturally acquired immunity. The findings could inform future malaria vaccine strategies.
