Abstract

A gene coding for a 220-kDa glutamate rich protein (GLURP), an exoantigen of Plasmodium falciparum, was isolated and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence contains 2 repeat regions. The sequence of one of these was shown to be conserved among geographically dispersed isolates, and a fusion protein containing that sequence was able to stimulate B- and T-cells. Antibodies against GLURP stained erythrocytic stages of the parasite as well as the hepatic stage as detected by electron microscopy.
