| pubmed-article:2074141 | pubmed:abstractText | The synthetic peptide (NANP)40, reproducing the tandem-repeated epitope of the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium (Laverania) falciparum, was entrapped into murine, autologous erythrocytes by a hypotonic dialysis method. Mice immunized intravenously with minute amounts of encapsulated peptide produced considerable antibody titres. This result indicates that intraerythrocytic antigen administration may have a potential as an immunization system for humans, since it dispenses with adjuvants and carrier molecules. | lld:pubmed |
