title: Electrophoretic variations of peptidase E (PEPE) in characterizing clones and isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from different geographical areas.
abstract: Six clones were obtained from each Plasmodium falciparum (Welch, 1897) isolate from different geographical areas, Gombak A (Malaysian), Gombak C (Malaysian), ST 9 (Malaysian, ST 12 (Malaysian), ST 85 (Malaysian, ST 148 (Malaysian), Gambian (African) and TGR (Thailand) isolates using the limiting dilution method (Rosario 1981). Forty-eight clones were obtained and were characterized by an electrophoresis isoenzyme analysis of PEPE (Peptidase E) (EC. 3.4.11 or 13). Results showed that they were pure clones as they were monovariant with regards to this enzyme unlike their parent isolates which were divariant.
