Concentration and avidity of antibodies to different circumsporozoite epitopes correlate with RTS,S/AS01E malaria vaccine efficacy

RTS,S/AS01E has been tested in a phase 3 malaria vaccine trial and has shown partial efficacy in children and infants. Here, the authors analyze IgG concentration and avidity to CSP in ~1000 participants and show that IgG avidity to the C-terminus of CSP is significantly associated with vaccine-medi...
