Schematic of the PvRMC-MSP1 chimeric protein and alignments of orthologous sequences. a The entire length of the chimera shown with T cell epitopes represented as blue boxes with the P. vivax T cell epitope designation (PvT) listed inside each box. b Alignment of PvRMC-MSP1 T cell epitopes with orthologous regions from other human Plasmodium species. c Alignment of 19 kD fragment within PvRMC-MSP1 with MSP1₁₉ regions in other human Plasmodium species and the partial 33 kD segment
