Abstract excerpt
Recent results with primate plasmodia and rodent models of infection have focused attention on the C-terminal region of the merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) as one of the leading candidates for vaccination against the erythrocytic stages of malaria. However, sequence heterogeneity of this region may compromise its use as a vaccine candidate. While the C-terminal region of MSP-1 from the two prototypic alleles...
