1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
Apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA-1) of Plasmodium falciparum is one of the leading asexual blood stage antigens being considered for inclusion in a malaria vaccine. The ability of this molecule to induce a protective immune response has been shown to be dependent upon a conformation stabilized by disulfide bonds. In this study we have utilized the reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography of...
