Immune responses to polymorphic antigens and protection against severe malaria in Kenyan children

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms by which individuals acquire immunity to malaria are poorly understood and although antibodies are thought to be central, evidence that specific anti-malarial antibodies are associated with protection from clinical episodes of malaria has been conflicting. I hypothesized that the breadth (number of important targets to which antibodies were made) and magnitude (antibody level measured in a random se...
