Measurement of bacterial cell wall in tissues by solid-phase radioimmunoassay: correlation of distribution and persistence with experimental arthritis in rats.

abstract：:The major merozoite surface protein of Plasmodium falciparum (PfMSP1) is a candidate antigen for a malaria vaccine. A 19-kDa C-terminal processing product of PfMSP1 (PfMSP1(19)) is composed of two domains sharing a cysteine-rich motif with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and is the target of monoclonal antibodies which ...
