RESUMO
On the basis of investigations of the malarial blood-stage antigens SERP, HRPII, and MSAI from Plasmodium falciparum, we chose two Escherichia coli-expressed hybrid proteins containing selected partial sequences of these antigens. Antibodies raised against both hybrid proteins in rabbits and Aotus monkeys recognize the corresponding P. falciparum polypeptides. In two independent trials with 13 animals, immunization of Aotus monkeys with either of the two hybrid proteins administered in a well-tolerated oil-based formulation protected the animals from an experimental P. falciparum infection.
