Association of antibody responses to the conserved Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 5 with protection against clinical malaria.

Association of antibody responses to the conserved Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 5 with protection against clinical malaria.

BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 5 (PfMSP5) is an attractive blood stage vaccine candidate because it is both exposed to the immune system and well conserved.
