  • Plasmodium falciparum vaccine comprising a recombinant histidine-rich protein-HRP-II
    Patent number: 5393523
    Abstract: Recombinant histidine-rich protein of Plasmodium falciparum, its preparation and use. It was possible, by screening two different Plasmodium falciparum cDNA gene banks with an antiserum against a 41 kD protein and by cross-hybridization with the insert DNA of a clone obtained therewith, to isolate a gene which codes for a Histidine-Alanine-rich protein (HRP-II). This protein protects aotus monkeys from infection with P. falciparum and is thus a suitable constituent of a malaria vaccine.
