2020 Immunology and Cell Biology  
., who report that low levels of antigen-specific antibodies in serum can limit the boosting of antibody and B-cell responses following immunization with live attenuated malaria sporozoites.  ...  This opens new avenues for further research to evaluate antibody feedback in human vaccine studies, particularly in malaria-exposed populations.  ...  Limited immune boosting was not due to an intrinsic deficit of the memory B cell response, but was instead due to antibody feedback mediated by circulating anti-CSP antibodies in the serum 7 .  ...
