Research summary

This study evaluates the role of Fc-dependent effector functions in the protective activity of anti-circumsporozoite protein (CSP) antibodies against malaria. Mice expressing human Fcγ receptors were used to assess the relevance of Fc engagement in vivo.

Key outcome of the study

Fc-dependent functions, especially FcγR-mediated phagocytosis, are essential for optimal protection conferred by anti-CSP antibodies.

Model

hFcγR humanized mouse model generated by genOway, expressing human Fc gamma receptors instead of mouse counterparts.

TARGET:
