Liver sinusoid constraints make random search of CD8 T cells for Plasmodium parasites efficient

A relatively small number of liver-localized CD8 T cells can provide sterilizing protection against exposure to Plasmodium sporozoites.

A relatively small number of liver-localized CD8 T cells can provide sterilizing protection against exposure to Plasmodium sporozoites. Previously published mathematical model-based simulations of randomly searching for an infection T cells, assuming that T cells move in open…
