Tanzania Children That Are Naturally Immune To Malaria.

Immune children in Tanzania aid malaria vaccine
hunt.
A group of children in Tanzania who are naturally
immune to malaria are helping scientists to develop
a new vaccine.
US researchers
have found that they produce antibody that attacks
the malaria-causing parasite.
Injecting a form
of this antibody into mice protected the animals
from the disease.
The team which published its result in the journal
science said trials in primates and humans were
now needed to fully access the vaccine's promise.
Prof Jake Kurtis, director of the center of
international health research at Rhode Island
hospital brown university school of medicine said "I
think there's fairly compelling evidence that this is
a bonafide vaccine candidate"
