Serine Repeat Antigen (SERA5) Is Predominantly Expressed among the SERA Multigene Family of Plasmodium falciparum, and the Acquired Antibody Titers Correlate with Serum Inhibition of the Parasite Growth
28 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The Plasmodium falciparum serine repeat antigen (SERA) is one of the blood stage malaria vaccine candidates. The malaria genome project has revealed that SERA is a member of the SERA multigene family consisting of eight SERA homologues clustered on chromosome 2 and one SERA homologue on chromosome 9. Northern blotting and real time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR with five independent parasite strains,...
