Method of Producing Partial Peptide of Enolase Protein from Plasmodium Falciparum

摘要

F The peptide production method of the present invention produces a peptide (SEQ ID NO: 1) of a protein from Plasmodium falciparum, which is effective as a malaria vaccine. The method produces the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 by linking the fragments (i) through (v) shown below: (v) Asn-Asn-Asp-Xaa; (SEQ ID NO: 2) (iv) Asp-Phe-Lys-Thr-Pro; (SEQ ID NO: 3) (iii) Asn-Lys-Thr-Tyr-Asp-Leu; (SEQ ID NO: 4) (ii) Phe-Tyr-Asn-Ser-Glu; (SEQ ID NO: 5) and (i) Xaa-Ala-Ser-Glu, (SEQ ID NO: 6) where 'Xaa' in (i) and (v) represents zero or any arbitrary number of amino acid residues.
