Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in the T-helper cell epitopic regions (Th2R and Th3R) of circumsporozoite protein of 135 Plasmodium falciparum isolates collected from different epidemic and endemic regions of India was studied. Variation in the Th2R and Th3R regions was found to exhibit restricted polymorphism and can be grouped. The variations were not regionally biased, as different isolates collected from different regions...
