摘要: The protective association between the human leukocyte antigen HLA-B53 and severe malaria was investigated by sequencing of peptides eluted from this molecule followed screening candidate epitopes pre-erythrocytic-stage antigens Plasmodium falciparum in biochemical cellular assays. Among malaria-immune Africans, HLA-B53-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes recognized a conserved nonamer peptide liver-stage-specific antigen-1 (LSA-1), but no were identified other antigens. These findings indicate possible molecular basis for HLA-disease support candidacy as vaccine component.
