Immunological memory to blood-stage malaria infection is controlled by the histamine releasing factor (HRF) of the parasite
Abstract While most subunit malaria vaccines provide only limited efficacy, pre-erythrocytic and erythrocytic genetically attenuated parasites (GAP) have been shown to confer complete sterilizing immunity. We recently generated a Plasmodium berghei (PbNK65) parasite that lacks a secreted factor, the...
