Malaria is a vector-borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasites of which Plasmodium falciparum contributed to an estimated 247 million cases worldwide in 2021 (WHO malaria report 2022). The P. falciparum Circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) covers the surface of the sporozoite which is critical to cell invasion in the human host. PfCSP is the leading pre-erythrocytic vaccine candidate and forms the basis of the RTS'S (Mosquirix®) malaria vaccine. However, high-yield production of full-length PfCSP with proper folding has been challenging. Here, we describe expression and purification of full-length PfCSP (containing 4 NVDP and 38 NANP repeats) with proper conformation by a simple three-step procedure in the Lactococcus lactis expression system.
