Abstract excerpt
Four antigenic variants of the 19-kDa carboxy terminal fragment of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein, MSP1 (MSP1(19)), were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a histidine-tagged, secreted polypeptides (rMSP1(19)s). Structural analysis of the rMSP1(19)s indicated that a single amino acid change (E to Q) in the first EGF-like domain of the yeast-secreted rMSP1(19) proteins caused a significant...
