Characterization and antigenicity of the promising vaccine candidate Plasmodium vivax 34 kDa rhoptry antigen (Pv34)

This study describes the identification of the Plasmodium vivax rhoptry antigen Pv34 whose sequence was obtained based on homology comparison with the Plasmodium falciparum Pf34. The pv34 gene product was characterized by molecular biology and immunological techniques. Additionally, association of P...
