Table 4 Logarithm of anti-CSP IgG antibody titres pre- and post-vaccination in each year in children who received RTS,S/AS01E vaccine for both countries (Burkina Faso and Mali), measured using the two assays: - GSK ELISA and Oxford MSD assay

  1. aThe lower limit of quantification for GSK ELISA is 1.9 EU/ml and samples with a titre below this lower limit (i.e., titre with a value of 0) were assigned a titre of 0.95 EU/ml, half the lower limit of detection. The log(0.95) = −0.051, many children have this value pre priming (in 2017) and it was not possible to calculate log GMT for these negative values.
