A multistage chimera consisting of transmission and asexual blood-stage antigens.
This chimera consists of P. falciparum GMZ2 genetically fused to Pfs48/45-6C fragment.
GMZ2 is in advanced clinical trials.
The GMZ2-Pfs48/45-6C chimera elicits functional antibodies in small rodents.
Formulations containing GLA or SLA elicited the strongest immune responses.
