Abstract

Malaria remains a significant global health burden, killing hundreds of thousands of children annually (WHO, The world malaria report. WHO, Geneva, 2019). Despite decades of effort, no broadly effective vaccine exists. Differential screening of parasite phage display libraries is a promising approach to identify the targets of human antibodies expressed by resistant but not by susceptible individuals (Raj et al., Nature, 582, 104–108, 2020; Science, 344, 871–877, 2014). Our whole proteome differential screening (WPDS) approach consists of positive selection to capture phage that bind antibodies expressed by malaria-resistant individuals, followed by negative selection to remove phage that bind antibodies expressed by malaria-susceptible individuals, and amplification of differentially recognized clones.
