Recombinant Plasmodium falciparum Merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2), partial

1. Genetic polymorphism of Merozoite Surface Protein-2 (MSP-2) in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Pawe District, North West Ethiopia PMID: 28542247
2. msp2 genetic profiles iof solates collected from successive malaria episodes in ten children who had four or more clinical episodes during follow up PMID: 23217196
3. MSP2 Antigenic differences characterized via epitope mapping; results show that there are significant conformational differences between the two forms of MSP2 PMID: 22966050
4. Allele typing of the msp2 gene detected 55% and 45% of 3D7 and FC27 allelic families in Plasmodium falciparum field isolates from Congolese children with asymptomatic infections. PMID: 22463364
5. The majority of patients from all the five sites had mean monoclonal infections of 67.1 and 60.4% of P. falciparum for msp-1 and msp-2, respectively, whereas, mean multiple genotypes of 32.8 and 39.5% for msp-1 and msp-2, respectively. PMID: 22325817
6. the helical structure of the N-terminal region of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 2 has a role in fibril formation and membrane interaction PMID: 22304430
7. Field isolates are highly diverse in respect of MSP2 and multiplicity of infection was neither age nor parasite density dependent in the study population. PMID: 21809706
8. We tested the hypothesis that sequence diversity in MSP2 renders parasites bearing heterologous MSP2 alleles differentially susceptible to Fc-dependent functions of allele-specific MSP2 antibodies PMID: 21189324
9. roles of individual residues in fibril formation and local ordered structure in two peptides, a recombinant 25-residue peptide corresponding to the entire N-terminal domain of mature MSP2 and an 8-residue peptide from the central region of this domain PMID: 20542076
10. Extensive genetic polymorphism with diverse allele types was identified in MSP-1 and MSP-2 in P. falciparum field isolates from Myanmar. PMID: 20478015
11. reports the functional properties of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies induced by site-directed designed MSP-2 N-terminus pseudopeptides and their capacity for antibody isotype switching in in vitro immunization PMID: 17881088
12. The two major complications seen in the subjects, cerebral malaria and severe anaemia, were each found to be significantly associated with the 3D7 subtype of msp-2 PMID: 18577328
13. analysis of selective pressures on the merozoite surface protein 2 locus of Plasmodium falciparum PMID: 18840512
14. current and comprehensive information on the diversity in the gene that encodes the merozoite surface protein (MSP) 1 and 2 and its implications on the epidemiology of malaria, immunity and development of control measures [review] PMID: 19326702
15. MSP2 oligomers containing intermolecular beta-strand interactions similar to those in amyloid fibrils. PMID: 19450733
