Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Kara A. O’Neal investigates the immune response in the context of parasitic infections, specifically focusing on Plasmodium yoelii infection. Her research has examined the role of specific T cell populations and their associated molecules in mediating the host's immune defense. Recent publications highlight the function of Bhlhe40 in limiting early IL-10 production from CD4+ T cells during infection and the requirement of ICOS expression for the maintenance, though not the formation, of germinal centers in the spleen following Plasmodium yoelii infection. O'Neal collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jason S. Stumhofer and Camille L. Foscue, as well as Leah E. Latham from the National Center for Toxicological Research. Her work contributes to understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune regulation during parasitic infections.
