Analysis of the Role of TpUB05 Antigen from in Immune Responses to Malaria in Humans Compared to Its Homologue in the UB05 Antigen.

Despite the amount of resources deployed and the technological advancements in molecular biology, vaccinology, immunology, genetics, and biotechnology, there are still no effective vaccines against malaria. Immunity to malaria is usually seen to be species- and/or strain-specific. However, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting the possibility of the existence of cross-strain, cross-species, and cross-genus immune responses in apicomplexans.
