  "summary": "In malaria endemic settings, the fetus may be exposed to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) antigens leading to prenatal immune primming (PIP). The fetus also acquires a graft of maternal cells in utero, a phenomenon known as maternal microchimerism (MMc). We have previously identified that MMc at birth predicts altered malaria susceptibility in early childhood, and we hypothesized that this association…",
