Molecular definition of multiple sites of antibody inhibition of malaria transmission-blocking vaccine antigen Pfs25

Molecular definition of multiple sites of antibody inhibition of malaria transmission-blocking vaccine antigen Pfs25

Plasmodium falciparum protein Pfs25 is a promising malaria transmission blocking vaccine antigen. Here, Scally et al. determine the crystal structure of Pfs25 and identify antigenic sites that are recognized by transmission-blocking antibodies elicited in human immunoglobulin loci transgenic mice.
