The isolation of PfCSP hmAbs used in this study was previously reported.8 (link)–12 (link) All hmAbs were expressed in IgG1 heavy and light chain plasmids using the ExpiFectamine 293 Transfection Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated at 37°C, 8% CO2 for 6 days. Supernatants were harvested and purified using rProtein A Sepharose Fast Flow resin (GE Healthcare) or protein G chromatography cartridge (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Buffer was exchanged with 1X PBS before being concentrated using Amicon Centrifugal Filters (Millipore). The concentration of purified antibodies was determined using the Nanodrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
