Immunization of Aotus monkeys with Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage recombinant proteins.

Abstract:

:The current spread of multidrug-resistant malaria demands rapid vaccine development against the major pathogen Plasmodium falciparum. The high quantities of protein required for a worldwide vaccination campaign select recombinant DNA technology as a practical approach for large-scale antigen production. We describe the vaccination of Aotus monkeys with two recombinant blood-stage antigens (recombinant p41 and 190N) that were considered as vaccine candidates because parasite-derived antigen preparations could protect susceptible monkeys from an otherwise lethal malaria infection. In contrast to the natural antigen, recombinant p41 protein (P. falciparum aldolase) could not protect monkeys, although all animals seroconverted. 190N antigen, a recombinant protein containing conserved sequences of the major merozoite surface antigen p190, protected two of five monkeys from critical levels of infection with the highly virulent FVO isolate of P. falciparum. However, the B- and T-cell responses to 190N antigen were similar in protected and unprotected animals so that other unknown factors may contribute to protection. Higher purity or lack of protective epitopes or different structure of protective epitopes in the recombinant proteins might explain the better performance of parasite-derived antigens in vaccination trials. The partial protection obtained with 190N antigen suggests that this molecule could contribute to a vaccine mixture against P. falciparum.
