Antibodies to several important merozoite antigens (MSP1, MSP2, EBA175, Rh2A9), schizont extract and VSA for three different parasite lines (E8B-ICAM, R29 and 3D7 overexpressing var A) were measured in order to determine whether nutrient supplementation improves the acquisition of malaria antibody in young children. Here, ATAD1 is linked to malaria.
