Importantly, immunization with an MSP8/merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1) chimera elicits an antibody response that inhibits P. falciparum blood stage growth in vitro, indicating that MSP8 represents a potential malaria-specific carrier protein to enhance the immunogenicity of neutralizing B cell epitopes in the 19-kDa C terminal domain of MSP1 [7–9]. The gene discussed is ATAD1; the disease is malaria.
