Enormous progress has been made in recent years in understanding the molecular basis of the interaction of peptides, the major histocompatibility complex and the T-cell receptor. Considerable information must still be gathered before a malaria vaccine capable of protecting individuals in endemic areas is available. This review discusses studies pertaining to the research for T epitopes suitable for inclusion in a malaria vaccine in the light of current concepts of the recognition of peptides by T cells.
