Abstract
The invention provides polypeptides which correspond in at least one specific epitope with a plasmodium falciparum merozoite antigen having a molecular weight of about 41,000 Daltons, and a process for their production. The invention further provides immunogenic compositions which contain such a polypeptide and a suitable adjuvant, a DNA sequence which codes for such a polypeptide, replicable microbial vectors which contain such a DNA sequence, microorganisms which contain such a replicable vector and antibodies against a polypeptide of the invention. The invention still further provides processes for the production of the immunogenic compositions, the microorganisms and the antibodies and for the use of the polypeptides and the immunogenic compositions for the immunization of mammals against malaria.
