Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein (MSP) 3 is an asexual blood-stage malaria vaccine candidate antigen. Sequence polymorphisms divide alleles into 2 major types, but the adaptive and immunological significance of the types has not been defined. METHODS: One hundred one msp3 allele sequences were sampled from 2 populations living in areas where malaria is endemic and were analyzed for...
