Cord Blood IL-12 Confers Protection to Clinical Malaria in Early Childhood Life

Using a well-designed longitudinal cohort, we aimed to identify cytokines that were protective against malaria and to explore how they were influenced by genetic and immunological factors. 349 Mozambican pregnant women and their newborn babies were recruited and followed up for malaria outcomes unti...

Six Th1 cytokines in cord blood were screened for correlation with malaria incidence, of which IL-12 was selected for further analyses. We genotyped IL-12 polymorphisms in children/mothers and evaluated the genotype-phenotype associations and genetic effects on IL-12 levels. Maternal IL-12 concentrations were also investigated in relation to Plasmodium infections and cord blood IL-12 levels. Our data showed that high background IL-12 levels were prospectively associated with a low incidence of clinical malaria, while IL-12 production after parasite stimulation had the opposite effect on malaria incidence.
