Abstract excerpt
To investigate the relationships between predominant HLA class II alleles and immune responses to the Plasmodium falciparum ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (Pf155/RESA), 50 individuals from the highlands of Madagascar were followed-up from 1988 to 1991. The T cell reactivity and antibody responses to synthetic peptides (EENV)4, (EENVEHDA)4, and (DDEHVEEPTVA)3, representing major T and B epitopes of...
