Co-immunization with pre-erythrocytic antigens alongside circumsporozoite protein can enhance sterile protection against <i>Plasmodium</i> sporozoite infection
2022-06-17
Abstract excerpt
Malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites have a complex life cycle and present numerous antigen targets that may contribute to protective immune responses. The currently recommended vaccine—RTS,S—functions by targeting the P. falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP), which is the most abundant surface protein of the sporozoite form responsible for initiating infection of the human host. Despite showing only moderat...
