Structure guided mimicry of an essential P. falciparum receptor-ligand complex enhances cross neutralizing antibodies
Abstract Invasion of human erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) merozoites relies on the interaction between two parasite proteins: apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) and rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2). While antibodies to AMA1 provide limited protection against Pf in non-human primate malaria mo...
