They note that in a recent study, conducted by another group in western Kenya, protection against severe malaria by HbAS was only seen in children 2–16 months old, but that in that study, no analysis was presented that addressed the effect of age within that range.
They suggest several mechanisms for how HbAS could accelerate immune acquisition; for example, immunity could be mediated by accelerated acquisition of antibodies to altered host antigens expressed on the parasite-infected red cell surface.
The authors conclude that the relevance of their current observations on mild clinical malaria to protection against severe and fatal malaria are unknown, and that further work must be done to better understand the role of HbAS in protection against malaria.
They argued that if the malaria protection provided by HbAS were innate, it should be independent of malaria exposure and remain constant with age.
The mechanism behind the high degree of resistance conferred by HbAS in severe and complicated malaria is still unknown, but recent observations have suggested the mechanism might involve an immune component.
