Research: Accessing pregnancy-specific adaptive immunity during placental malaria

In this systemic review and meta-analysis, antibody responses to several antigens were positively associated with the presence of placental malaria and peripheral infection. These are the initial steps to the identification of antigens which could lead to the development of vaccines to improve birth outcomes.
