The main obstacle to a malaria vaccine: the malaria parasite.

L H Miller1, M F Good.   

Abstract

The challenge to development of a malaria vaccine will be the variability of the sequences of target antigens. We discuss the variability in the T cell epitopes on the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum and the rapid selection of mutants after immunization with a protein from the asexual erythrocytic stage of P. knowlesi.
