Production of PfEMP1-Specific Mouse Monoclonal Antibodies.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The PfEMP1 family of proteins expressed on the Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocyte (IE) surface is the main target of naturally acquired immunity against malaria. Antibodies capable of opsonizing the IEs and blocking the binding between PfEMP1 and human receptors seems to be one of the main protective mechanisms of the naturally acquired immunity. Therefore this family of antigens is intensively studied. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are a very valuable research tool for studying this diverse family of proteins and their interaction with human receptors. As examples, mAbs can be used to identify protective epitopes, epitopes that are targets of cross-reactive antibodies, and the surface expression of specific PfEMP1 variants. Fusing mouse splenocytes with myeloma cells to generate long-lived antibody secreting hybridoma cell lines have been used since the 1970s for the production of mAbs. In this chapter, we describe a simple, reliable, and relatively fast method for producing PfEMP1-specific mAbs from mouse spleen cells using semisolid HAT selection medium.
