Abstract
While T cells respond to a denatured or proteolyzed antigen, most antibodies to native proteins prefer the native conformation, particularly in globular proteins. It has been found that monoclonal antibodies to Pfs25 protein of P. falciparum completely block malaria transmission from human sera to the Anopheles mosquito. One of these, 4B7, binds weakly to a linear peptide, ILDTSNPVKT, that maps to a predicted beta-hairpin loop. This prediction is based on NMR structures for epidermal growth factor-like proteins and GORBTURN algorithm. Linear peptides and several loops were synthesized in order to determine which one best mimicked the corresponding epitope on Pfs25. The antibody 4B7 and a rabbit antiserum to P. falciparum gametes were titered against these peptides in ELISA. These antibodies showed little reaction with linear peptides, and a strong reaction with a loop.
