Genetic Diversity Block 2 of Surface Protein-1 in Plasmodium Falciparum Merozoite by Nested-PCR Method in Southeastern Iran
Abstract Background and Objectives: Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein-1 (PfMSP-1) is a promising vaccine against malaria during its blood stages which play an important role in immunity to this disease. Polymorphic nature of this gene is a major obstacle in making an effective vaccine against malaria. In this study, the genetic diversity of Plasmodi...
متن کاملanalysis of plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein-1 gene sequences
the emergence of plasmodium vivax in dashte moghan in northwestern iran has become a major concern for iranian's health officials. knowledge of genetic make up of the p. vivax populations in this area would give us an insight into the origin of the prevalent infections and the possible routes they are introduced. this paper reports the analysis of a variable region between the two interspecies ...
متن کاملallelic forms of merozoite surface protein-3 in plasmodium falciparum isolates from southeast of iran
background genetic diversity has provided plasmodium falciparum with the potential capacity of avoiding the immune response, and possibly supported the natural selection of drug or vaccine-resistant parasites. merozoite surface protein-3 (msp-3) has been used to develop vaccines and investigate the genetic diversity regarding p. falciparum malaria in iran. objectives the main goal of this study...
متن کاملRestricted genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum major merozoite surface protein 1 in isolates from Colombia.
The merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-1) gene of Plasmodium falciparum encodes a major immune target under development as a malaria vaccine. In this study, we typed MSP-1 variable regions of parasites obtained from Buenaventura, Colombia. Four MSP-1 gene types were detected corresponding to prototype and recombinant K1 and MAD20 block 4 sequences. In contrast to variability within block 4, block...
متن کاملAntigenicity of recombinant proteins derived from Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 1.
We have expressed seven recombinant antigens representing two N-terminal regions of the polymorphic merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-1) of Plasmodium falciparum. The antigens include the MAD20 and Palo Alto forms of the relatively conserved Block 1 region, and variants of the Block 2 region from isolates 3D7, Palo Alto FUP, MAD20, Wellcome and RO33, that are representative of a range or amino a...
