Abstract
Need for malaria vaccine necessitates the characterization of potential antigens of the Plasmodium parasite. Recently, we have identified several Plasmodium vivax tryptophan-rich antigens (PvTRAgs). Here, we describe the immunological characterization of hitherto undescribed two such antigens PvTRAg 35.2 and PvTRAg 80.6 which are respective homologue of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite associated tryptophan-rich antigen (PfMaTrA) and P. falciparum tryptophan and threonine rich antigen (PfTryThrA) involved in erythrocyte invasion. Each of the pvtrag genes is comprised of two exons where exon 2 encodes for major part of the protein. PvTRAg 35.2 and PvTRAg 80.6 showed 97.06% and 94.12% (n = 34) seropositivity rates, and 92.3% (n = 13) and 100% (n = 29) lymphoproliferative responses, respectively, among P. vivax exposed individuals. Geometric mean values of IL-12, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-10 in PBMC culture supernatants of P. vivax exposed individuals were 182.02, 60.3, 62.84, 196.01 and 177.17 pg/ml against PvTRAg 35.2 and 185.27, 58.15, 64.56, 142.01 and 157.2 pg/ml against PvTRAg 80.6 showing mixed immune response with distinct biased towards anti-inflammatory Th2 phenotype. The pvtrag 35.2 gene was highly conserved in the paras...Continue Reading
