Fig. 2. Stratified transmission-reducing activity of three different monoclonal antibodies in direct membrane feeding assays on naturally infected gametocyte carriers.

Fig. 2

The concentration of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4B7 (Pfs25), b mAb 45.1 (Pfs48/45) and (c) mAb 2A2 (Pfs230) in the feeder is indicated below bars. Transmission-reducing activity (TRA) was quantified as the reduction in mean oocyst intensity between antibody control and mAb condition for each donor. Complete transmission-reducing (>99% TRA) is depicted in dark green and strong reduction (80–99% TRA) in bright green. All donors with >1 oocyst/mosquito in antibody control condition (i.e. successful transmission) were included and the number of distinct donor samples (n) tested for each antibody is given below bars. mAbs 4B7 and 45.1 were tested at two sites (Burkina Faso and Cameroon) and mAb 2A2 was only tested in Burkina Faso. DMFA direct membrane feeding assays. The raw data for DMFA and SMFA experiments can be found in the Supplementary Material (Supplementary Dataset 1 and 2).
