Chemical Attenuation of Plasmodium berghei Sporozoites Induces Sterile Immunity in Mice
4 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Radiation and genetic attenuation of Plasmodium sporozoites are two approaches for whole-organism vaccines that protect against malaria. We evaluated chemical attenuation of sporozoites as an alternative vaccine strategy. Sporozoites were treated with the DNA sequence-specific alkylating agent centanamycin, a compound that significantly affects blood stage parasitemia and transmission of murine malaria and also...
