Antibodies to malaria peptide mimics inhibit Plasmodium falciparum invasion of erythrocytes.
|
| description: |
This peptide is derived from a random 20-mer peptide library. It mimics a conformational epitope on P.falciparum AMA-1 protein, recognized by the inhibitory rat mAb 4G2dc1. The library was constructed with random 20-mer peptides fused to the N-terminus of protein III of phage M13.
Isolated after 6 rounds of panning with mAb 4G2dc1 (directed towards an undefined conformational epitope on plasmodium falciparum AMA-1, with inhibitory activity on merozoite invasion into erythrocytes), the phage particle carrying this peptide is specifically recognized in ELISA by the selecting mAb. Binding could be inhibited by soluble AMA-1 protein, implying a true mimic of the 4Gsdc1 epitope by this peptide.
