ATAD1 and malaria: Previous studies [22], examining the growth-inhibitory potential of rabbit antibodies raised against recombinant proteins corresponding to the four primary processing products of MSP-1, revealed not only that antibodies targeting epitopes throughout MSP-1 can effectively interfere with parasite multiplication in vitro, but also that the four processing products of MSP-1 differ significantly in their immunogenicity, as reflected by antibody titers in the serum of immunized animals and of individuals living in malaria endemic regions of West Africa [22] and India [28].
