Analysis of Antibodies Directed against Merozoite Surface Protein 1 of the Human Malaria ParasitePlasmodium falciparum
21 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The 190-kDa merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-1) of Plasmodium falciparum, an essential component in the parasite's life cycle, is a primary candidate for a malaria vaccine. Rabbit antibodies elicited by the heterologously produced MSP-1 processing products p83, p30, p38, and p42, derived from strain 3D7, were analyzed for the potential to inhibit in vitro erythrocyte invasion by the parasite and parasite growth....
