These could play a role in the protection mediated by the vaccine regimens presented here: although depletion of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells did not abrogate the protective effect of the Ad-M CSP vaccine, this may be because anti-CSP antibodies played the principal role in protection, as evident from the strong correlation with time to reach 1% parasitemia (Fig. 3Bi). Here, DNAJC5 is linked to parasitic infectious disease.
