Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the plasmodium knowlesi gene coding for the circumsporozoite protein
TL;DR: The gene that codes for the surface antigen of Plasmodium knowlesi sporozoites (CS protein) is unsplit and present in the genome in only one copy, indicating that the parasite promoter and ribosome binding site signals can be recognized in E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and chemical synthesis of a tandemly repeated immunogenic region of Plasmodium knowlesi circumsporozoite protein.
TL;DR: Complementary DNA clones that code for the immunogenic region of the Plasmodium knowlesi circumsporozoite protein were shown to contain a tandemly repeating 36-base pair unit that accounts for at least one-third of the amino acid sequence of the surface antigen protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium knowlesi sporozoite antigen: expression by infectious recombinant vaccinia virus
Geoffrey L. Smith,G. N. Godson,V Nussenzweig,Ruth S. Nussenzweig,John W. Barnwell,Bernard Moss +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence for expression of a cloned malaria gene in mammalian cells is provided and the potential of vaccinia virus recombinants as live malaria vaccines is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of an immunodominant epitope of the circumsporozoite surface protein of Plasmodium knowlesi
D. H. Schlesinger,A. H. Cochrane,R W Gwadz,G. N. Godson,R. Melton,Ruth S. Nussenzweig,Victor Nussenzweig +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that the CS protein epitopes reacting with six monoclonal antibodies raised against the intact parasite are represented in a synthetic tandem repeat of this dodecapeptide.
