A Subset of Plasmodium falciparum SERA Genes Are Expressed and Appear to Play an Important Role in the Erythrocytic Cycle
27 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The Plasmodium falciparum serine repeat antigen (SERA) has shown considerable promise as a blood stage vaccine for the control of malaria. A related protein, SERPH, has also been described in P. falciparum. Whereas their biological role remains unknown, both proteins possess papain-like protease domains that may provide attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. Genomic sequencing has recently shown that...
