Abstract
The present invention relates to an expression vector which expresses a malaria MSA1 peptide in combination with a signal peptide and anchor peptide in a host animal. The MSA1 peptide is combined with a signal peptide and anchor peptide for expression. Chimeric peptides being expressed with both signal peptides and anchor peptides were the most effective in eliciting an immunogenic response from a vaccinated host.
