Grant Activity:
Antibodies, white blood cells and protection from severe malaria
Purpose:
We study antibodies that recognise PfEMP1s, proteins expressed on malaria infected red blood cells. We will identify the most dangerous PfEMP1 types, and the most protective antibodies, using samples from severe and mild malaria. Unusually, PfEMP1 antibodies often lack a key sugar. The deadly PfEMP1 types will then be studied with white blood cells, which can clear or kill the parasites. We will study how such antibodies develop, and how they function. Our work may lead to a PfEMP1 vaccine.
