Deskripsi

The Plasmodium falciparum Merozoite Surface Protein 1 (MSP-1) is a prime vaccine candidate for malaria. Here, the authors structurally and functionally characterise a panel of naturally acquired MSP-1 specific antibodies to identify one with potent broadly neutralising activity and better understand immune evasion mechanisms.
