(A) Schematic representation of the major regions of the P. falciparum MSP-2 protein.: SP = signal peptide; C1 = conserved region 1; V = variable region; C2 = conserved region 2; PRO = propeptide. (B) Schematic representation of the V region of members of the 3D7 allelic family: NR = non-repeat; p-T = poly T. (C) Schematic representation of the V region of members of the FC27 allelic family: NR = non-repeat; R1 = repeat region 1; R2 = repeat region 2.
