We describe a cDNA clone expressing part of p126, a parasitophorous vacuole antigen of Plasmodium falciparum that is processed to smaller fragments about the time of schizont rupture. The amino acid sequence includes determinants that are antigenic during the course of infection. The sequence contains a string of serine residues but no other repetitive elements. Comparison of the sequence to a previously published sequence demonstrates conserved and variable sequence elements. The genomic context of the single copy gene is conserved in six different isolates. p126 is shown to be identical to Pf140, an antigen previously demonstrated to partially protect Saimiri monkeys against P. falciparum infection.

D010963 Plasmodium falciparum A species of protozoa that is the causal agent of falciparum malaria (MALARIA, FALCIPARUM). It is most prevalent in the tropics and subtropics. Plasmodium falciparums,falciparums, Plasmodium
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
