Malaria and EBV Load qPCR Raw Data for Neutrophil Profiling in Burkitt Lymphoma

12.9 KB of raw qPCR data from a prospective study profiling neutrophil subsets in children. The data was collected by Sharon Akinyi Okoth from children with different exposure histories to Plasmodium falciparum malaria and children diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma in Western Kenya, along with healthy adults. The dataset was last updated on June 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Correlating malaria exposure with neutrophil subset frequencies based on flow cytometry markers like CD15 and CD16.
• Investigating the immunological link between Plasmodium falciparum infection and Burkitt lymphoma tumorigenesis.
• Analyzing the expansion of immature neutrophil subsets in malaria-exposed versus healthy control groups.

Strengths

• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The study design includes a prospective cohort with multiple comparison groups (malaria-exposed children, BL patients, low-exposed adults).
• Multiparameter flow cytometry was used to characterize neutrophils with several markers (CD15, CD16, CD10, CD11b, CD182, CD184, CD62L).

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 12.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Functional assays were not performed, limiting mechanistic insights from the data alone.
