MSP2 is a merozoite surface protein of Plasmodium falciparum and, as such, is a potential component of a malaria vaccine. In this study, we have used a panel of recombinant MSP2 antigens in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to investigate the recognition of MSP2 by antibodies from malaria-immune human serum. These recombinant antigens include full-length proteins of serogroups A and B and fragments representing...
