Nanoassembly routes stimulate conflicting antibody quantity and quality for transmission-blocking malaria vaccines

Abstract Vaccine development efforts have recently focused on enabling strong immune responses to poorly immunogenic antigens, via display on multimerisation scaffolds or virus like particles (VLPs). Typically such studies demonstrate improved antibody titer comparing monomeric and nano-arrayed anti...
