The structure of Plasmodium yoelii merozoite surface protein 119, antibody specificity and implications for malaria vaccine design

Merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1) has been identified as a target antigen for protective immune responses against asexual blood stage malaria, but effective vaccines based on MSP1 have not been developed so far. We have modified the sequence of Plasmodium yoelii MSP119 (the C-terminal region of the...
