Abstrakt: We have established a predictive modelling framework to systematically analyze IgG antibody responses against a large panel of P. falciparum-specific antigens and identify a predictive signature of naturally acquired immunity to malaria. Our results show that an individual's immune status can be accurately predicted by measuring IgG antibody responses to a parsimonious set of 15 target antigens. The identified immune signature is highly versatile and capable of providing precise and accurate estimates of clinical protection from malaria in demographically distinct populations.
