Abstract excerpt
The polymorphic domain of the gene encoding Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) was PCR amplified from blood of malaria patients, genotyped, and 19 distinct fragments were cloned and expressed in E. coli. The reactivity of naturally occurring antibodies against this panel of recombinant MSP2 antigens was tested using 67 homologous or heterologous sera from a serum bank of travel clinic...
