Figure 1From: Serological responses to a soluble recombinant chimeric Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite protein in VK210 and VK247 populationProtein structure (not drawn to scale) and amino acid sequence of the recombinant PvCSP molecule. The repeat region is flanked by N-terminal and C-terminal conserved regions based on the VK210 sequence. The central region represents four VK210 repeats (grey) and three VK247 repeats (black), region I and region II indicated with green and yellow respectively (A). Totally, 205 amino acids consist of this PvCSP chimera including four VK210 repeats (gray), three VK247 repeats (dark), region I (green) and region II (yellow) (B).Back to article page
