Molecular cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of a malaria exoantigen from Plasmodium falciparum, putative candidate for vaccine

Malaria remains as one of the biggest public health problems in the world today. Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal among the four species of protozoa that cause malaria infection in humans. In the parasite life cycle the asexual blood stage is responsible for the clinical manifestations of the disease, thus the studies of the immune response and the development of vaccine for this stage are critical to decreasing the morbidity and mortality of malaria.
