A blood-stage antigen from Plasmodium falciparum, its preparation and use

摘要

The invention relates to a DNA sequence which is highly homologous with that of a glycophorin-binding protein, the so-called GBP 130, and has therefore been called GBP 130 h. The invention furthermore relates to the protein GBP 130 h from Plasmodium falciparum itself and to a process for the preparation thereof by recombinant DNA techniques. Finally, the invention relates to the use of the protein GBP 130 h from Plasmodium falciparum for preparing vaccines against malaria.
