Abstract excerpt
In this study, we have investigated the extent of natural polymorphism in the CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) determinant (amino acids 368-390) of circumsporozoite (CS) protein of Plasmodium falciparum field isolates from a holoendemic region of Kenya, and determined how this variation affects the CTL reactivities in clinically immune adults and binding specificities to human histocompatibility leukocyte...
