Development of vaccines against Plasmodium falciparum malaria: taking lessons from naturally acquired protective immunity
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The acquisition of substantial anti-malarial protection in people naturally exposed to P. falciparum is often cited as evidence that malaria vaccines can be developed, but is rarely used to guide the development. We are pursuing the development of vaccines based on antigens and immune responses that appear key in naturally acquired protection.
