Abstract excerpt
Allelic variation in the Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1) gene is expressed as an association of allelic types in variable blocks. In this study, a PCR strategy that can detect 24 different MSP1 association types was used to investigate allelic variation in the MSP1 gene. We identified 236 distinct association type clones in 136 wild isolates collected from southern Vietnam, analysis of...
