"Expression and Immunogenicity of the C-Terminus of a Major Blood-Stage Surface Protein of Plasmodium vivax, Pv200(19), Secreted from Saccharomyce
Published in Vaccine Weekly, September 9th, 1996
According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Immunology Letters, "The carboxy-terminus of the major merozoite surface protein of Plasmodium has been shown to be the target of protective immunity in a number of non-vivax malaria parasite species. In an effort to develop a protective vaccine for Plasmodium vivax, the most prevalent form of human malaria, we expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the 19-kDa a carboxy-terminus of Pv200 as a His(6)-tagged, secreted polypeptide. Five of seven H-2 congenic mouse strains elicited antibodies that recognized yeast produced PV200(19) by ELISA. The vaccine appears to be immunogenic and widely recognized, and to...
