摘要: The development of an efficacious vaccine against the Plasmodium parasite remains a top priority. Previous research has demonstrated ability prime-boost virally vectored sub-unit vaccination regimen, delivering liver-stage expressed malaria antigen TRAP, to produce high levels antigen-specific T cells. is main target cell-mediated immunity, yet major challenge in assessing new cell inducing vaccines been lack suitable pre-clinical assay. We have developed flow-cytometry based vitro killing assay using mouse hepatoma line, Hepa1-6, and berghei GFP expressing sporozoites. Using this assay, P. TRAP-specific CD8+ enriched splenocytes were shown inhibit parasites effector-to-target ratio dependent manner. Further human hepatocytes falciparum would provide method pre-clinically screen candidates elucidate mechanisms protection vitro.
