Development of an improved blood-stage malaria vaccine targeting the essential RH5-CyRPA-RIPR invasion complex

Abstract Reticulocyte-binding protein homologue 5 (RH5), a leading blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum malaria vaccine target, interacts with cysteine-rich protective antigen (CyRPA) and RH5-interacting protein (RIPR) to form an essential heterotrimeric “RCR-complex”. We investigate whether RCR-comple...
