Abstract:
Last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended widespread use of RTS,S/AS01 vaccine to prevent malaria in young African children, noting its 30% reduction in deadly severe malaria. In a recent report, Das et al. describe antibody effector functions that may contribute to RTS,S efficacy and thereby guide vaccine improvements.
