Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above are currently in development as potential malaria vaccines. Recombinant particle vaccines use proteins from the malaria parasite that have been modified to stimulate an immune response. Synthetic peptide vaccines use small fragments of the parasite's proteins to train the immune system to identify and attack the parasite. DNA vaccines involve injecting a person with a piece of DNA containing genes that code for protective malaria proteins, which triggers the immune system to produce those proteins and build immunity against the parasite.
