Expression of cloned cDNA for a major surface antigen of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites. 1984

K G Odink, and M J Lockyer, and S C Nicholls, and Y Hillman, and R R Freeman, and A A Holder

A cDNA library of P. falciparum was constructed. Using size-selected mRNA as a probe several clones were isolated which hybridized to mRNAs larger than 5 kilobases (kb). The cDNA insert of pFC 17, which hybridizes to 5.6-kb mRNA was expressed by fusion to anthranilate synthetase I in a plasmid expression vector. The expressed fusion protein was shown to contain epitopes of a 195-kDa protein which is the precursor to 3 major surface antigens of P. falciparum merozoites.

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).

D005786 Gene Expression Regulation Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control (induction or repression) of gene action at the level of transcription or translation.
