Hyperimmunization with P. falciparum MSP1-42 could induce antibodies that have little or no parasite growth inhibitory activities. These antisera had no blocking activities as determined by their ability to interfere with the in vitro activities of growth inhibitory anti-MSP1-42 sera. Equally important, they enhanced the potency of growth inhibitory anti-MSP1-42 sera.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
