Pregnant, vaccinated moms then pass protective antibodies to their babies.

"This brings us closer to the size of antibodies, and - just as with antibodies - we can then integrate several desired functions into such a protein," explains Hendrik Dietz.

This protection was thought to be mediated by antibodies that target PfEMP1.

If phage treatment continues long term, patients can make antibodies against them.

One of the most effective ways of doing this is to develop antibodies that bind to the protein and block it from being nitrated in the first place.
