A mixture of Plasmodium falciparum exoantigens inducing lymphocyte activation and cytokine production was shown to contain the malaria vaccine candidate, the serine-stretch protein. This protein was shown serologically to correspond to Ag2, an exoantigen recognized by antibodies linked with protection against malaria. The glycophorin-binding protein, the histidine-rich protein II, the S-antigen, the heat shock protein 70, the ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen, and the apical membrane antigen-1 were also shown serologically to be present in the mixture of exoantigens.
