Abstract Over 75% of malaria-attributable deaths occur in children under the age 5 years. However, first malaria vaccine recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) for pediatric use, RTS,S/AS01 (Mosquirix), has modest efficacy. Complementary strategies, including monoclonal antibodies, will be important efforts to eradicate malaria. Here we characterize circulating B cell repertoires 45 vaccinees and discover antibodies development as potential therapeutics. We generated >28,000 antibody sequences tested 481 binding activity 125 antimalaria vivo. Through these analyses identified correlations suggesting that Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein, target antigen RTS,S/AS01, may induce immunodominant responses limit more protective, but subdominant, responses.

The highly conserved and essential Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte-binding protein homolog 5 (PfRH5) has emerged as the leading target for vaccines against disease-causing blood stage of malaria. However, features human vaccine-induced antibody response that confer potent inhibition malaria parasite invasion into red cells are not well defined. Here, we characterize 236 IgG monoclonal antibodies, derived from 15 donors, induced by most advanced PfRH5 vaccine. We define antigenic landscape this molecule establish epitope specificity, association rate, intra-PfRH5 interactions key determinants functional anti-parasitic potency.
