DNA encoding molecules containing at least one peptide sequence carrying one or several epitopes characteristic of a liver stage antigen produced by p. falciparum in hepatocytes and compositions containing them

摘要

The invention relates to a molecule comprising one or more peptide sequences of formula:PPLeu-Ala-Lys-Glu-Lys-Leu- Gln-X-Gln- Gln-Ser-Asp-Leu-Glu-Gln-Glu -ArgPPin which X is Glu or Gly.PPIt also relates to the utilisation of these molecules in assays and in vitro diagnostic kits for malaria on a biological sample derived from the individual in whom the disease is to be detected.
