Some children in Africa who show a level of immunity to malaria may provide a clue in the development of an effective vaccine against the disease.

Previous research has suggested that antibodies directed against a key protein (PfEMP1) on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, may be an important element in immunity to the disease. In this study, the researchers tested levels of PfEMP1 antibodies and other antibodies directed against proteins on infected cells in children in ...
