Pattern of antibody responses to Plasmodium falciparum antigens in individuals differentially exposed to Anopheles bites.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Immunization with attenuated malaria sporozoites protects humans from experimental malaria challenge by mosquito bite. Protection in humans is strongly correlated with the production of T cells targeting a heterogeneous population of pre-erythrocyte antigen proteoforms, including liver stage antigens. Curren...
