Abstract

The essential interaction between Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte-binding protein homolog 5 (RH5) and basigin makes RH5 a prime target for broadly neutralizing antibodies. A recent study by Barrett et al. mapped the RH5 antigenic landscape from RH5.1/AS01B vaccinees and identified a potent public antibody clonotype, advancing malaria vaccine and prophylactic antibody development.

Keywords: RH5; blood stage; mAb; malaria; public clonotype; vaccine.
