Unwanted Feedback: Malaria Antibodies Hinder Vaccine Boosting

Cell Host Microbe. 2020 Oct 7;28(4):504-506. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2020.09.013.

Abstract

Whole-organism vaccination is a promising approach to prevent malaria. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, McNamara and colleagues identify epitope masking as a hindrance to antibody boosting after repeated administration of attenuated Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite vaccine.
