Presence of P. falciparum parasite in maternal and/or placental blood at delivery does not influence the activation status of cord blood DC and monocytes. The expression levels of HLA-DR and CD86 were measured by flow cytometry on foetal APC from 27 P. falciparum-positive (diagonal striped bars) and 28 P. falciparum-negative mothers (white bars).
