摘要:
Disclosed herein are diagnostic methods and compositions for identifying individuals that are protected against Plasmodium falciparum caused malaria. Such methods are particularly useful for determining not only the protective efficacy of Pf whole parasite vaccines for individual subjects, but also within populations of vaccinated subjects. Also disclosed herein are subunit vaccines comprising at least one Pf immunologic determinant for protection against Plasmodium-caused malaria.
摘要:
The application is directed to in vitro-reared Plasmodium sporozoites of human host range wherein sporogony from gametocyte stage to sporozoite stage is external to mosquitoes, and methods of producing the same. Provided herein are in vitro-reared infectious Plasmodium sporozoites (SPZ) of human host range, particularly P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. knowlesi, wherein sporogony from gametocyte stage to sporozoite stage is external to mosquitoes, and methods of producing the same.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising Plasmodium sporozoite-stage parasites and compatible glycolipid adjuvants useful in vaccines for preventing or reducing the risk of malaria. In particular, human host range Plasmodium and analogues of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), a ligand for natural killer T (NKT) cells, are combined in pharmaceutical compositions, which are useful as vaccines against malaria. Methods of use are also provided.
摘要:
Disclosed are substantially purified Plasmodium sporozoites and preparations of Plasmodium sporozoites substantially separated from attendant non-sporozoite material, where the preparations of Plasmodium sporozoites have increasing levels of purity. Vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions comprising purified Plasmodium sporozoites are likewise provided. Methods of purifying preparations of Plasmodium sporozoites are also provided.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are diagnostic assays for identifying individuals that are protected against Plasmodium falciparum caused malaria. Such assays are particularly useful for determining not only the protective efficacy of Pf whole parasite vaccines for individual subjects, but also within populations of vaccinated subjects. The assays comprise the use of proteomes representing at least 50% of Pf, preferably coupled to a solid phase as a fixed array. The arrays are used to probe the sera of human subjects, particularly subjects of human clinical trials of whole parasite malaria vaccines as well as public health vaccination campaigns. Serum samples with antibody profiles most strongly reactive in multiplex to CSP and MSP5 demonstrate a sensitivity of from 92% to 100% and a specificity of from 84% to 89%.
