  • Binding domain of reticulocyte binding proteins
    Patent number: 8252293
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated polynucleotides, polypeptides, antibodies and/or vaccines for the prevention and/or treatment of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and/or Plasmodium vivax. In particular, the polypeptide fragments are derived from the binding domain of the reticulocyte binding proteins of Plasmodium falciparum and/or Plasmodium vivax. The present invention also provides recombinant vaccines and their use in the prevention and/or treatment of malaria.
    Type: Grant

  • EF-Tu protein encoded on the plastid DNA of the malaria parasite and protein synthesis inhibitors effective as anti-malarial compounds
    Publication number: 20020058266
    Abstract: The plastid DNA of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has been sequenced and found to contain a gene encoding an EF-Tu protein. Inhibitors of the protein are effective as anti-malarial compounds and the protein can be used to screen for such inhibitors. Furthermore, the 23S ribosomal RNA encoded on the malaria parasite plastid DNA is a target for anti-malarial compounds and the antibiotic thiostrepton acts as an anti-malarial by binding to the RNA.
