OverviewAI-generated summary
Kara A. O’Neal investigates the immune response to malaria, specifically focusing on the parasite *Plasmodium yoelii* in mouse models. Her research examines the role of various immune mediators, including Interleukin-10 (IL-10), Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and Interleukin-12 (IL-12), in controlling infection. Studies have explored how deficiencies in these cytokines impact the course of the disease, often finding enhanced control of early infection in IL-10-deficient mice, independent of IFN-γ, IL-12, and humoral responses. O'Neal's work also delves into the function of specific immune cells, such as B-lymphocytes and CD4+ T cells, and their contribution to the host's defense mechanisms. Her collaborations include researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the National Center for Toxicological Research.
