Plasmodium falciparum MSP6 is a merozoite surface antigen that shows organization and sequence homologies similar to those of MSP3. Within its C-terminus conserved region, it presents some epitopes that are cross-reactive with MSP3 and others that are not, both being targets of naturally occurring antibodies that block the P. falciparum erythrocytic cycle in cooperation with monocytes.
恶性疟原虫MSP6是一种裂殖子表面抗原,其结构和序列同源性与MSP3相似。在其C端保守区域内,它呈现出一些与MSP3交叉反应的表位和其他不交叉反应的表位,二者都是天然存在的抗体的靶点,这些抗体与单核细胞协同作用可阻断恶性疟原虫的红细胞内周期。
