Preclinical development of a Pfs230-Pfs48/45 chimeric malaria transmission-blocking vaccine

Abstract The Plasmodium falciparum Pfs230 and Pfs48/45 proteins are leading candidates for a malaria transmission-blocking vaccine (TBV). Previously, we showed that a Pfs230–Pfs48/45 fusion protein elicits higher levels of functional antibodies than the individual antigens, but low yields hampered p...
