Dynamics of polymorphism in a malaria vaccine antigen at a vaccine-testing site in Mali. by Shannon L Takala, Drissa Coulibaly, Mahamadou A Thera, Alassane Dicko, David L Smith, Ando B Guindo, Abdoulaye K Kone, Karim Traore, Amed Ouattara, Abdoulaye A Djimde, Paul S Sehdev, Kirsten E Lyke, Dapa A Diallo, Ogobara K Doumbo, Christopher V Plowe

“…If immunity elicited by an MSP-1-based vaccine is allele-specific, a vaccine based on either the FVO or FUP strain might have better initial efficacy at this site. This study, to our knowledge the largest of its kind to date, provides molecular information needed to interpret population responses to MSP-1-based vaccines and suggests that certain MSP-1(19) polymorphisms may be relevant to cross-protective immunity.…”
