Antibodies to the 4-mer repeat of the ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (Pf155/RESA) protect against Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
description:
To investigate the protective role of anti-peptide antibodies, serum from individuals living in Madagascar, an area endemic for malaria, was tested. It was found that those who tested positive for the peptide were more likely to be protected against a subsequent malaria infection.
