New Structures of Malaria Fighting Antibodies Lead to New Options for Vaccine Development

New Structures of Malaria Fighting Antibodies Lead to New Options for Vaccine Development: We are faced with the simple fact that COVID is now just one of the many endemic infectious diseases that we live with―and it may not be the most prevalent. Researchers conducting experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source are making significant strides in understanding the structures, binding sites, and interactions of malaria-fighting antibodies. The insights gained through this research may lead to new, more effective vaccines, with improved longevity and efficacy.
