Optimizing expression of the pregnancy malaria vaccine candidate, VAR2CSA in <it>Pichia pastoris</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>VAR2CSA is the main candidate for a vaccine against pregnancy-associated malaria, but vaccine development is complicated by the large size and complex disulfide bonding pattern of the protein. Recent X-ray crystallographic informatio...
