Conversion factors determined using the harmonized method. Six total IgG samples from the VAC054 trial were divided amongst the three laboratories and used to determine conversion factors. AMA1-specific IgG was affinity-purified using the same protocol and FMP2.1 protein coupled to purification columns. The concentration of thus affinity-purified AMA1-specific IgG in ng/mL was plotted against ELISA AU obtained using in-house ELISA protocols with in-house AMA1 protein. The slope of each linear regression line was used as the “harmonized conversion factor” (CF)
