Abstract excerpt
We have shown that conserved B epitopes were immunodominant in animals hyperimmunized with parasite-purified or recombinant merozoite surface protein MSP1 of Plasmodium falciparum. Cross-priming studies also suggested that a conserved T-helper epitope(s) is efficient in inducing the anti-MSP1 antibody response. In this study, we determined whether a similar profile of immune responses was induced during live P....
