Friday, January 3, 2025 NIAID Researchers Discover Novel Class of Anti-Malaria Antibodies Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (purple/blue) with bound monoclonal antibodies (yellow/orange). Credit: NIAID Malaria News: A novel class of antibodies that binds to a previously untargeted portion of the malaria parasite could lead to new prevention methods, according to a study led by NIAID scientists published today in Science. The most potent of the new antibodies was found to provide protection against malaria parasites in an animal model. The researchers say antibodies in this class are particularly promising because they bind to regions of the malaria parasite not included in current malaria vaccines, providing a potential new tool for fighting this dangerous disease.
