Identification of non-CSP antigens bearing CD8 epitopes in mice immunized with irradiated sporozoites

► Malaria continues to be a very important cause of morbidity and mortality. ► CSP is an immunodominant protective antigen. ► In BALB/c mice protection is mainly mediated by CD8 T cells. ► Selected non-CSP antigens are much less efficient in generating protective CD8 T cells.
