Extensive polymorphism in the Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface coat protein MSP-3α is limited to specific domains

1 May 2002

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium merozoites are covered by a complex coat of surface proteins. Several of the Merozoite Surface Proteins (MSPs) that make up this coat have been proposed as vaccine candidates although some of the MSPs are known to be highly polymorphic. We present here the first survey and analysis of the polymorphism in the recently characterized P. vivax surface protein PvMSP-3alpha. Full length or partial sequences...
