A potent multivalent malaria vaccine is developed using an engineered Plasmodium falciparum pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) synthase as a nanoparticle that presents a designed P. falciparum circumsporozoite protein immunogen and achieves full sterile protection in mice.

A self-assembled ferritin nanoparticle vaccine that simultaneously presents designed immunogens CSPj5c and 17-4 from the infection-blocking circumsporozoite and the transmission-blocking Pfs48/45 antigens is generated and is therefore a promising multistage malaria vaccine with a potential role in malaria control.

This work introduces those enhancing amino acid changes into a full-length spike (FL-S-2P) ectodomain representative of most approved vaccine antigens that can be incorporated into the FL-S-2P protein without negatively effecting expression or stability.
