Association of antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum Reticulocyte Binding Protein Homologue 5 with protection from clinical malaria

Association of antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum Reticulocyte Binding Protein Homologue 5 with protection from clinical malaria

Emerging evidence suggests that antibodies against merozoite proteins involved in P. falciparum invasion into the red blood cell (RBC) play an important role in clinical immunity to malaria. The protein family of parasite antigens known as P. falciparum Reticulocyte Binding Protein Homologue (PfRh)...
