The 42kDa cleavage product from the carboxyl end of the Plasmodium falciparum merozoite
surface protein 1 (MSP142) is an important blood-stage malaria vaccine target. Several
recombinant protein expression systems have been used for production of MSP142
including yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris), Escherichia coli,
baculovirus and transgenic animals. To date, all of the reported recombinant proteins
include a 6× His affinity tag to facilitate purification, including three MSP142 clinical grade …
