An abundant merozoite surface protein of Plasmodium falciparum modulates susceptibility to inhibitory antibodies

2026-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Malaria merozoite surface proteins (MSPs), are thought to have important roles in red blood cell (RBC) invasion and their exposure on the parasite surface makes them attractive vaccine candidates. However, their role in invasion has not been directly demonstrated and their biological functions are unknown. One of the most abundant proteins is Pf MSP2, which is likely an ancestral protein that has been mai...
