POLYPEPTIDKOMPOSITION ANVENDBAR FOR FRAMSTELLNING AV ANTIMALARIAVACCINER OCH AV DIAGNOSTEST FOR PAVISANDE AV ANTIMEROZOITANTIKROPPAR

摘要

Immunologically active polypeptide composition constituted by polypeptides having the formula: H-(Glu-Glu-Asn-Val-Glu-His-Asp-Ala)n-OH wherein Glu=Glutamic Acid; Asn=Asparagine; Val=Valine; His=Histidine; Asp=Aspartic Acid; Ala=Alanine and wherein n has a value equal to, or larger than, 2. Said composition is useful for the preparation of antimalarial vaccines and of diagnostic kits for the detection of antimerozoite antibodies.
