Erythrocyte invasion by the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum can be inhibited by antibodies against apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1). Patel et al. identified two human anti-AMA1 monoclonal antibodies, one of which has strain-transcending neutralizing activity. Lateral interactions between the two antibodies improved their binding kinetics and inhibitory activity.
导致疟疾的恶性疟原虫对红细胞的入侵可被抗顶端膜抗原1(AMA1)的抗体所抑制。帕特尔等人鉴定出两种人类抗AMA1单克隆抗体,其中一种具有跨株中和活性。这两种抗体之间的侧向相互作用改善了它们的结合动力学和抑制活性。
