Mechanisms and targets of Fcγ-receptor mediated immunity to malaria sporozoites

Antibodies plays critical roles in the adaptive immune response to infectious agents including malaria. Here the authors defined antibody interactions with -Fcγ-receptors expressed on immune cells with sporozoites of Plasmodium falciparum, and identified specific target epitopes of antibodies.
