Antibodies elicited in adults by a primary Plasmodium falciparumblood-stage infection recognize different epitopes compared with immune individuals (2007)

Eisen, Damon P, Wang, Lina, Jouin, Helene, Murhandarwati, E Elsa H, Black, Casilda G, Mercereau-Puijalon, Odile, ...

Abstract Background Asexual stage antibody responses following initial Plasmodium falciparum infections in previously healthy adults may inform vaccine development, yet these have not been as...

Immunization with Recombinant Plasmodium yoelii Merozoite Surface Protein 4/5 Protects Mice against Lethal Challenge

Kedzierski, Lukasz, Black, Casilda G., Coppel, Ross L.

Plasmodium yoelii merozoite surface protein 4/5 (PyMSP4/5), expressed as a recombinant protein, was highly effective at protecting mice against lethal challenge with P. yoelii. There was a...

Identification of the Plasmodium chabaudi Homologue of Merozoite Surface Proteins 4 and 5 of Plasmodium falciparum

Black, Casilda G., Wang, Lina, Hibbs, Alan R., Werner, Ekkehard, Coppel, Ross L.

Previous studies of Plasmodium falciparum have identified a region of chromosome 2 in which are clustered three genes for glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored merozoite surface proteins, MSP2,...

Structural and Antigenic Properties of Merozoite Surface Protein 4 of Plasmodium falciparum

Wang, Lina, Black, Casilda G., Marshall, Vikki M., Coppel, Ross L.

Merozoite surface protein 4 (MSP4) of Plasmodium falciparum is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored integral membrane protein of 272 residues that possesses a single epidermal growth factor...

Immunization with a Combination of Merozoite Surface Proteins 4/5 and 1 Enhances Protection against Lethal Challenge with Plasmodium yoelii

Kedzierski, Lukasz, Black, Casilda G., Goschnick, Matthew W., Stowers, Anthony W., Coppel, Ross L.

It is widely believed that subunit vaccines composed of multiple components will offer greater protection against challenge by malaria, and yet there is little experimental evidence to support this...

Identification of Rhoptry Trafficking Determinants and Evidence for a Novel Sorting Mechanism in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Richard, Dave, Kats, Lev M., Langer, Christine, Black, Casilda G., Mitri, Khosse, Boddey, Justin A., ...

The rhoptry of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is an unusual secretory organelle that is thought to be related to secretory lysosomes in higher eukaryotes. Rhoptries contain an extensive...
