FIG. 5.

Antibody cross-reactivities between “b” peptides of the MSP3 proteins family. □, Binding of anti-MSP3.1b specific antibodies upon the recombinant antigen MSP3.1-Cterm in the presence of increasing concentrations of the MSP3.2b peptide; ▪, binding of anti-MSP3.7b specific antibodies upon the recombinant antigen MSP3.7-Cterm in the presence of increasing concentrations of the MSP3.1b peptide. Affinity-purified antibodies were preincubated with different amounts of peptides before being tested by ELISA.
