ATAD1 and malaria: Studies conducted in other African settings, using recombinant proteins, have outlined several features that are consistent with the observations we made in Dielmo: i) a moderate seroprevalence to MSP1 block2 that increases with age [3,24], ii) recognition of a single family by a large proportion of responders [3,25,30], iii) family-specific and sub-type specific responses [3,23-25] along with recognition of conserved family-specific flanking domains [23,24]; iv) transient acquisition antibody specificity or loss of pre-existing response during a malaria attack [24,25].
