Antibody responses to the merozoite surface protein-1 complex in cerebral malaria patients in India

Naomi W Lucchi, Jon Tongren, Vidhan Jain, Avinash C Nagpal, Christian W Kauth, Ute Woehlbier, Hermann Bujard, Aditya P Dash, Neeru Singh, Jonathan K Stiles, Venkatachalam Udhayakumar Malaria Journal 2008, 7:121 (4 July 2008)

It remains unclear why only a subset of patients develops cerebral malaria complications, including neurological sequelae or death. This study compares the immune response to MSP in patients with uncomplicated malaria and in CM patients, suggesting that a dysregulation in the generation of antibody may exist during CM.
