CIS43 is a potent neutralizing human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets a highly conserved 'junctional' epitope in the Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP). Enhancing the durability of CIS43 in vivo will be important for clinical translation. Here, two approaches were used to improve the durability of CIS43 in vivo while maintaining potent neutralization. First, the Fc domain was modified with the "LS" mutations (CIS43LS) to increase CIS43 binding affinity for the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). CIS43LS and CIS43 showed comparable in vivo protective efficacy. CIS43LS had nine to thirteen-fold increased binding affinity for human (6.2 nM vs. 54.2 nM) and rhesus (25.1 nM vs. 325.8 nM) FcRn...
