Effect of Codon Optimization on Expression Levels of a Functionally Folded Malaria Vaccine Candidate in Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Expression Systems
21 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
We have produced two synthetic genes that code for the F2 domain located within region II of the 175-kDa Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte binding antigen (EBA-175) to determine the effects of codon alteration on protein expression in homologous and heterologous host systems. EBA-175 plays a key role in the process of merozoite invasion into erythrocytes through a specific receptor-ligand interaction. The F2...
