Nutrient Deficiencies and Potential Alteration in Plasma Levels of Naturally Acquired Malaria-Specific Antibody Responses in Tanzanian Children

Nutrient Deficiencies and Potential Alteration in Plasma Levels of Naturally Acquired Malaria-Specific Antibody Responses in Tanzanian Children

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses have been suggested to confer naturally acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Cytophilic IgG1 and IgG3 with their potential for opsonization, phagocytosis, and antibody-dependent cellular inhibition in association with monocytes have been suggested to...
