Avid binding by B cells to the Plasmodium circumsporozoite protein repeat suppresses responses to protective subdominant epitopes
1 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Antibodies targeting the NANP/NVDP repeat domain of the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP Repeat ) can protect against malaria. However, it has also been suggested that the CSP Repeat is a decoy that prevents the immune system from mounting responses against other domains of CSP. Here, we show that, following parasite immunization, B cell responses to the CSP Repeat are immunodominant over...
