Abstract
Circumsporozoite protein (CSP) coats the Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite surface and is a major malaria subunit vaccine target. We measured epitope-specific reactivity to field-derived CSP haplotypes in serum samples from Malian adults and children on a custom peptide microarray. Compared to children, adults showed greater antibody responses and responses to more variants in regions proximal to and within the central repeat region. Children acquired short-lived immunity to an epitope proximal to the central repeat region but not to the central repeat region itself. This approach has the potential to differentiate immunodominant from protective epitope-specific responses when combined with longitudinal infection data.Entities:
