Modified PvDBP-RII subdomain 3 for a polypeptide vaccine for Plasmodium vivax

Image from Licence Details: Modified PvDBP-RII subdomain 3 for a polypeptide vaccine for Plasmodium vivax

Applications: synthetic polypeptide, vaccination against Plasmodium vivax

Features Benefits
  • Novel immunogen based on modified Duffy binding domain (DBP) of Plasmodium vivax, specifically subdomain 3 of the PvDBP-RII protein domain
  • Effectively target the reticulocyte invasion stage of Plasmodium vivax to prevent symptoms and malaria transmission
  • Structure-guided immunogen design, which modifications allows production of correctly folded form.
  • Modifications leading to immunogen allows effective production and scalability, hence effective vaccination.
  • Preclinical data demonstrates a more effective growth-inhibitory antibody repertoire compared to the current best PvDBP-RII immunogen
  • Ready to be tested in clinical trials
  • Can be used for analysing antibody repertoire generated in response to vaccination or natural infection
  • Immunogen can be included in prophylaxis for Malaria by itself or in combination with other components as a multi-stage vaccine
  • Adaptability in vaccine program design
