HLA degenerate T-cell epitopes from Plasmodium falciparum liver stage-specific antigen 1 (LSA-1) are highly conserved in isolates from geographically distinct areas
TL;DR: The extent of polymorphism within the N‐terminal non‐repetitive region of the LSA‐1 gene from Malaysian P. falciparum field isolates was sequenced and compared with data of isolates from Brazil, Kenya and Papua New Guinea, and three of the T‐cell epitopes were completely conserved while the remaining two were highly conserved.
