The roles of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor on the production and immunogenicity of recombinant ookinete surface antigen Pbs21 of Plasmodium berghei when prepared in a baculovirus expression system.
Malarial ookinetes express an immunodominant surface protein (P28) that is a priority candidate for the development of transmission-blocking vaccines. The full length P28 gene from Plasmodium berghei [Pbs21(1-213)] and a deletion construct [Pbs21(1-188)] encoding a protein that lacks the 25 C-termin...
