Targets of complement-fixing antibodies in protective immunity against malaria in children

Antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum merozoites that fix complement can inhibit blood-stage replication. Here, Reiling et al. show that complement-fixing antibodies strongly correlate with protective immunity in children, identify the merozoite targets, and predict antigen combinations that shou...
