Anti-sporozoite antibodies and immunity to malaria in a rural Gambian population.
- Abstract:
-
A conserved repeated epitope, (NANP)3, of the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum has been identified previously as a putative target for artificially induced immunity to malaria. We examined the role of humoral responses to this epitope in acquired immunity to malaria in a rural African population. Seropositivity to (NANP)3 was slow to develop (9% positive in subjects aged 1-11 years; 88% in those of 30 years and above), and responses in younger subjects were transient. The poo...
