Identification of a highly antigenic linear B cell epitope within Plasmodium vivax apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA-1).

Identification of a highly antigenic linear B cell epitope within Plasmodium vivax apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA-1).

Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA-1) is considered to be a major candidate antigen for a malaria vaccine.
