Anti-merozoite antibodies induce natural killer cell effector function and are associated with immunity against malaria

Dennis O. Odera et al.

Summary: NK cells can be activated through Fc receptor engagement by antibodies, leading to degranulation and IFN-gamma release upon stimulation with antibody-opsonized Plasmodium falciparum merozoites. Antibody-dependent NK activity plays a crucial role in controlling parasitemia after experimental malaria challenge in adults and reducing the risk of clinical episodes of malaria in children. Several vaccine candidates, including less characterized antigens such as P41, P113, MSP11, RHOPH3, and Pf_11363200, induce antibody-dependent NK response, suggesting their potential in evaluating malaria vaccines.

Severe malaria

Nicholas J. White

Summary: Severe malaria is a serious medical condition that causes preventable childhood death in tropical countries. However, it is often mistaken in clinical practice and overdiagnosed, leading to misattributed deaths. Simple tests can improve diagnosis accuracy, and early administration of treatment can reduce global malaria mortality.

Structure of the merozoite surface protein 1 from Plasmodium falciparum

Patricia M. Dijkman et al.

Summary: The study presents the structure of the merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-1), revealing an unusual fold and dimerization capability. Dimerization of MSP-1 is concentration-dependent and can be influenced by interactions with the erythrocyte cytoskeleton protein spectrin. These findings provide insights into how MSP-1 may interact with erythrocytes and lay the groundwork for further research on its role in Plasmodium infection and immunity.
