pfGARP (IMAGE) Brown University Caption A new study identifies an antibody, often present in children with natural immunity to severe malaria, that attacks a particular malaria protein called pGARP. When the antibody binds the protein, it causes malaria cells to undergo a form of programmed cell death. The discovery could be the basis for a new malaria vaccine.
