Distribution of MFI values within the malaria-naïve cohort. Scatter plots showing the distribution of MFI values for all tested malaria antibodies from the non-immune cohort (panel a-g). MFI values represent the mean value of the sample duplicates after subtraction of MFI values originating from the blank background beads (MFI-bg). Mean blank background MFI values and MFI range in brackets: PfMSP-119: 16 [16, 17]; PvMSP-119: 20 [19–21]; PmMSP-119: 18 [17–19]; AMA-1: 19 [16–22]; GLURP: 13 [12–15]; CSP: 33 [32, 33] and LSA-1: 14 [14, 15]. The horizontal line represents the calculated cut-off of the respective antibody. One outlier for AMA-1 (MFI: 974) was excluded from the calculations. A scatter plot for tetanus-toxoid antibodies in this malaria reference population is also shown in panel h
