<p>An antigenic materials suitable for use in vaccination against malaria comprises a sequence of amino acid residues present in an antigen occurring in nature in association with intra-erythrocytic forms of parasites of the genus Plasmodium, this sequence corresponding to an epitope which is shared with the surface of sporozoites. Such materials may be obtained from nature or synthetically, particularly by genetic engineering techniques, and hybridomas producing an antibody which is specific for the epitope are useful in either approach.</p> |
