Immunogenicity and antigenicity of the N-term repeat amino acid sequence of the Plasmodium falciparum P126 antigen

The P126 protein, a parasitosphorus vacuole antigen of Plasmodium falciparum has beenshoen to induce protective immunity in Saimiri and Aotus monkeys. In the present work we investigated its immunogenicity. Our results suggest that the N-term of P126 is poorly immunogenic and antibody response again...
