Antibodies which bind to molecules containing at least one peptide sequence carrying one or several epitopes characteristic of a liver stage antigen produced by P. falciparum in hepatocytes

摘要

The invention relates to a molecule comprising one or more peptide sequences of formula:Leu-Ala-Lys-Glu-Lys-Leu-Gln-X-Gln-Gln-Ser-Asp-Leu-Glu-Gln-Glu-Argin which X is Glu or Gly. It also relates to the utilisation of these molecules in assays in vitro diagnostic kits for malaria on a biological sample derived from the individual in whom the disease is to be detected.
