Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A synthetic nucleotide, which transcribes as the cell-traversal protein for ookinetes and sporozoites (CelTOS) antigen of Malaria Plasmodium , and methods of use thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A synthetic CelTOS polypeptide, said polypeptide encoded by the synthetic nucleotide sequence identified in SEQ ID NO:1. 2. An immunogenic composition comprising the synthetic CelTOS polypeptide of claim 1 . 3. The synthetic polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein said protein is recombinantly expressed with no post-translational N-glycosylation. 4. The immunogenic composition of claim 2 further comprising an adjuvant. 5. A malaria vaccine comprising the synthetic CelTOS polypeptide of claim 1 . 6. The vaccine of claim 5 further comprising an adjuvant. 7. A method for inducing an immune response to Plasmodium malaria in a mammal, comprising administering a composition comprising the synthetic CelTOS polypeptide of claim 1 in an amount effective induce an immune response. 8. The method according to claim 7 wherein the composition further comprises an adjuvant. 9. A method for detecting malaria antibodies in a biological sample, comprising contacting the biological sample with a polypeptide according to claim 1 such that a complex forms between the polypeptide and malaria antibodies in said sample, and detecting the presence or absence of said complex, such that the presence of said complex indicates the presence of malaria antibodies in said sample. 10. A kit for detection of malaria antibodies in a biological sample, comprising the synthetic polypeptide of claim 1 , a buffer or components necessary for producing the buffer, enabling a binding reaction between the polypeptide and malaria antibodies present in the biological sample, and a means for detecting complexes formed in the binding reaction.
