Development of a process for large scale production of PfRH5 in E. coli expression system.

The Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte binding protein homologue 5 (PfRH5) has recently shown great promise to be developed as a vaccine candidate to prevent blood-stage malaria. However, because of its molecular complexity, most previous efforts were focused on expressing PfRH5 in its native and soluble form. Here, we describe the E.
