Study

name:	Association between immune recognition of the malaria vaccine candidate antigen Pf155/RESA and resistance to clinical disease: a prospective study in a malaria-endemic region of west Africa.
description:	The prevalence of antibodies to the epitope was measured in children from Gambia, an area where malaria is endemic. The prevalence of antibodies was higher among children who subsequently experienced an asymptomatic infection than among those who had an infection with high parasitemia. The prevalence of antibodies to the epitope increased with age.
