| 摘要 |
This invention is directed to novel species-specific P. vivax malarial peptide antigens, PvESP-1 is a protein or fragments of the protein secreted into the plasma of a susceptible mammalian host after infection, and to monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies directed against this antigen. The peptide antigen, monoclonal antibodies, and/or polyclonal antibodies are utilized in assays used to diagnose malaria, as well as to determine whether Plasmodium vivax is the species responsible for the infection.
