Development of an improved blood-stage malaria vaccine targeting the essential RH5-CyRPA-RIPR invasion complex

B. G. Williams, L. D. W. King, D. Pulido, D. Quinker, A. M. Lias, S. E. Silk, R. J. Ragotte, H. Davies, J. R. Barrett, K. McHugh, C. A. Rigby, D. G. W. Alanine, L. Barfod, M. W. Shea, L. A. Cowley, , S. J. Draper

This paper develops a combination malaria vaccine targeting the RCR-complex by fusing epitopes from RIPR to CyRPA, improving in vitro growth inhibition compared to RH5.1 alone.

Natural malaria infection elicits rare but potent neutralizing antibodies to the blood-stage antigen RH5

L. T. Wang, A. J. R. Cooper, B. Farrell, K. Miura, A. Diouf, N. Muller-Sienerth, C. Crosnier, L. Purser, M. Maciuszek, J. R. Barrett, K. McHugh, C. Tucker, S. Li, S. Doumbo, D. Doumtabe, , J. Tan

The paper identifies potent neutralizing antibodies against the malaria antigen RH5 from natural infection, showing they target similar epitopes as vaccine-induced antibodies.
