Heritability of antibody isotype and subclass responses to Plasmodium falciparum antigens.
BACKGROUND:It is important to understand the extent to which genetic factors regulate acquired immunity to common infections. A classical twin study design is useful to estimate the heritable component of variation in measurable immune parameters. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:This study assessed t...
