title: [Functional change of dendritic cells/regulatory T cells/T-helper 17 cells and the mechanism of its cross-regulation in malaria].
abstract: The cross-regulation of dendritic cells (DC)/regulatory T cells (Treg)/T-helper cells (Th17) is a complex process that involves multiple signals. During Plasmodium infection, the interaction of DC, Treg, and Th17 influence the cross modification, and induce activation of DC/Treg/Th17 to regulate Th1/Th2 polarization and control the dynamic balance of Th immune response by cytokines. This article summarizes the change in cell function of DC/Treg/Th17 and the mechanism of its cross-regulation in malaria.
