Genetic diversity of vaccine candidate antigens in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from the Amazon basin of Peru
27 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several of the intended Plasmodium falciparum vaccine candidate antigens are highly polymorphic and could render a vaccine ineffective if their antigenic sites were not represented in the vaccine. In this study, characterization of genetic variability was performed in major B and T-cell epitopes within vaccine candidate antigens in isolates of P. falciparum from Peru. METHODS: DNA sequencing analysis...
