Abstract excerpt
The PfRh5-Basigin ligand-receptor interaction is an essential step in the merozoite invasion process and represents an attractive vaccine target. To reveal genotype-phenotype associations between naturally occurring allelic variants of PfRh5 and invasion inhibition, we performed ex vivo invasion inhibition assays with monoclonal antibodies targeting basigin coupled with PfRh5 next-generation amplicon sequencing....
