Serologic responses to recombinant Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein in a Colombian village.
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
The Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (DBP) is essential during merozoite invasion into human erythrocytes. Because of its biological importance, the DBP is also seen to have potential use as a malaria blood-stage vaccine. We have used a soluble recombinant DBP (rDBP) containing the functional ligand domain to assess the natural immunogenicity of DBP in a low-endemic vivax malaria region. Human sera from...
