Temporal stability of naturally acquired immunity to Merozoite Surface Protein-1 in Kenyan Adults (2009)

Dent, Arlene E, Chelimo, Kiprotich, Sumba, Peter O, Spring, Michele D, Crabb, Brendan S, Moormann, Ann M, ...

Abstract Background Naturally acquired immunity to blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum infection develops with age and after repeated infections. In order to identify immune surrogates that can inform...

Gamma interferon responses to Plasmodium falciparum liver-stage antigen 1 and thrombospondin-related adhesive protein and their relationship to age, transmission intensity, and protection against malaria. (2004)

John, Chandy C., Moormann, Ann M., Sumba, Peter O., Ofulla, Ayub V., Pregibon, Daniel C., Kazura, James W.

Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) responses to the Plasmodium falciparum antigens liver-stage antigen 1 (LSA-1) and thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (TRAP) are thought to be important in protection...

Interferon-gamma responses to Plasmodium falciparumliver-stage antigen-1 and merozoite-surface protein-1 increase with age in children in a malaria holoendemic area of western Kenya (2003)

Chelimo, Kiprotich, Sumba, Peter O, Kazura, James W, Ofula, Ayub V, John, Chandy C

Abstract Background In areas of high-level, year-round malaria transmission, morbidity and mortality due to malaria decrease after the first two to three years of life. This reduction may be related...
