The importance of the immunodominant CD8+ T cell epitope of Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite protein in parasite- and vaccine-induced protection
The circumsporozoite protein (CSP) builds up the surface coat of sporozoites and is the leading malaria pre-erythrocytic-stage vaccine candidate. CSP has been shown to induce robust CD8+ T cell responses that are capable of eliminating developing parasites in hepatocytes, resulting in protective imm...
