Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that repeat sequence antigens of Plasmodium falciparum may serve the parasite in immune evasion by modifying the host antibody response and impairing the development of protective immunity. According to this proposal networks of cross-reactive, repeat sequence malarial antig...
