Naturally acquired antibodies against Plasmodium vivax pre-erythrocytic stage vaccine antigens inhibit sporozoite invasion of human hepatocytes in vitro.

Spearman pairwise correlation of antibody inhibition between antigens demonstrates a moderately significant correlation between anti-SSP3 and anti-SPECT1 antibodies (r = 0.62 and p < 0.0001) as well as anti-SPECT1 and anti-CelTOS antibodies (r = 0.65, p < 0.0001), while a relatively weaker correlation albeit statistically significant was found between anti-SSP3 and anti-CelTOS (r = 0.41, p = 0.003) (Fig. 2 b).
