Conserved Protective Mechanisms in Radiation and Genetically Attenuated uis3(-) and uis4(-) Plasmodium Sporozoites
13 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Immunization with radiation attenuated Plasmodium sporozoites (RAS) elicits sterile protective immunity against sporozoite challenge in murine models and in humans. Similarly to RAS, the genetically attenuated sporozoites (GAPs) named uis3(-), uis4(-) and P36p(-) have arrested growth during the liver stage development, and generate a powerful protective immune response in mice. We compared the protective...
