Plasmodium vivaxPromiscuous T-Helper Epitopes Defined and Evaluated as Linear Peptide Chimera Immunogens
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Clinical trials of malaria vaccines have confirmed that parasite-derived T-cell epitopes are required to elicit consistent and long-lasting immune responses. We report here the identification and functional characterization of six T-cell epitopes that are present in the merozoite surface protein-1 of Plasmodium vivax (PvMSP-1) and bind promiscuously to four different HLA-DRB1* alleles. Each of these peptides...
