Acquisition of invasion-inhibitory antibodies specific for the 19-kDa fragment of merozoite surface protein 1 in a transmigrant population requires multiple infections.

Antibodies against the 19 kDa C-terminal fragment of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1(19)) are a major component of the invasion-inhibitory response in individuals immune to malaria. We report here the acquisition of MSP1(19)-specific invasion-inhibitory antibodies in a group of transmigrants who e...
