Shift in epitope dominance of IgM and IgG responses to Plasmodium falciparum MSP1 block 4.
Malar J 914.

Abstract : |
Production of antibodies specific for each parental and recombinant MSP1 block 4 allele in different populations exposed to P. falciparum is consistent with balancing selection of the MSP1 block 4 region by the immune response of individuals in areas of both low and high malaria transmission. MSP1 block 4 determinants may be important in isolate-specific immunity to P. falciparum.
