摘要:
The present invention relates to a combined measles-malaria vaccine containingdifferent attenuated recombinantmeasles-malaria vectors comprising a heterologous nucleic acid encodingseveral Plasmodium falciparum antigens. Preferably, itrelates to viral vectors that comprise nucleic acids encoding thecircumsporozoite (CS) protein of P. falciparum, the merozoite surfaceprotein 1(MSP-I) of P. falciparum, and its derivatives (p-42; p-83-30-38) inits glycosylated and secreted forms, and apicalmembrane antigen 1(AMA1) of P. falciparum, in its anchored or secreted form.The viral vector stems from an attenuated measlesvirus, based on a strain that is used as a vaccine and is efficient indelivering the gene of interest and that binds to and infects therelevant immune cells efficiently. In a preferred embodiment, the CS, the MSP1and the AMA1 proteins are generated from thevirus such that they will give rise to a potent immune response in mammals,preferably humans; the expression of the proteins iselevated due to human codon optimisation. Furthermore, the invention relatesto the use of the recombinant vaccine in the prophylactictreatment of malaria.
