Antibodies induced by the malaria vaccine RTS,S/AS01 neutralize infectivity of transgenic sporozoites expressing Plasmodium falciparum CSP (PfCSP). These antibodies recognize the junctional, minor repeats, central repeats, and C-term regions of this antigen. The epitope specificity of antibodies mediating protection in mice was characterized in vivo using transgenic sporozoites expressing restricted antigenic portions of PfCSP. In this model, we found protection is mediated mostly by antibodies specific for the central repeats.
疟疾疫苗RTS,S/AS01诱导产生的抗体可中和表达恶性疟原虫环子孢子蛋白(PfCSP)的转基因子孢子的感染性。这些抗体可识别该抗原的连接区、小重复序列、中央重复序列和C端区域。利用表达PfCSP有限抗原部分的转基因子孢子在体内对介导小鼠保护作用的抗体的表位特异性进行了表征。在该模型中,我们发现保护作用主要由针对中央重复序列的特异性抗体介导。
