TL;DR: All vaccinated, protected Aotus monkeys produced antibodies which inhibited in vitro parasite growth, indicating that this assay may be a useful correlate of protective immunity and that immunity induced by BVp42 immunization is mediated, at least in part, by a direct effect of antibodies against the MSP-1 C-terminal region.
Journal Article
Regulation of antibody specificity to Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein-1 by adjuvant and MHC haplotype.
TL;DR: The results suggest that adjuvant formulation and MHC genes act in a reciprocal manner to control immune responsiveness to specific epitopes, and raise the possibility of manipulating genetically-controlled responsiveness to vaccine Ags by utilizing alternative adjuvants in vaccine formulations.
