Affinity-matured homotypic interactions induce spectrum of PfCSP structures that influence protection from malaria infection

Abstract The generation of high-quality antibody responses to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP), the primary surface antigen of Pf sporozoites, is paramount to the development of an effective malaria vaccine. Here we present an in-depth structural and functional analysis of...
