Mycobiota control : the IgA connection.

The claudin-like apicomplexan microneme protein is required for gliding motility and infectivity of Plasmodium sporozoites
O. Silvie’s team has identified a Plasmodium protein that is essential for the motility and infectivity of sporozoites, the mosquito-transmitted forms of the malaria-causing parasite. This protein, called CLAMP, could constitute a new vaccine target.

Plasmodium sporozoites require the protein B9 to invade hepatocytes
O. Silvie’s team has identified a Plasmodium protein that is essential for the infection of hepatocytes during malaria. This protein, called B9, could constitute a new vaccine target.

T-independent responses to polysaccharides in humans mobilize marginal zone B cells prediversified against gut bacterial antigens
A novel CIMI collaboration underlines the key role played by the immune/microbiota interface in the pre-education of the human antibody repertoire.
