Attempted isolation of the gene encoding the 21 Kd Plasmodium berghei ookinete transmission blocking antigen from Plasmodium yoelli and Plasmodium vivax

The 21kD ookinete antigen of Plasmodium berghei (Pbs 21) has been shown to elicit an effective and long lasting transmission blocking immune response in mice. Having cloned and sequenced this antigen (Paton et al. 1993) the sequence was compared to the genes of the same family previously identified...
