Antibodies to Cryptic Epitopes in Distant Homologues Underpin a Mechanism of Heterologous Immunity between <italic toggle="yes">Plasmodium vivax</italic> PvDBP and <italic toggle="yes">Plasmodium falciparum</italic> VAR2CSA

ABSTRACT Many pathogens evolve extensive genetic variation in virulence proteins as a strategy to evade host immunity. This poses a significant challenge for the host to develop broadly neutralizing antibodies. In Plasmodium falciparum, we show that a mechanism to circumvent this challenge is to eli...
