  • Title: A polyclonal but not a monoclonal antibody to an M(r) 52-kD protein responsible for a punctate fluorescence pattern in Plasmodium falciparum merozoites inhibits invasion in vitro.
    Author: Storey E.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 1992 Nov; 47(5):663-74. PubMed ID: 1449207.
    Abstract:
    A monoclonal antibody, MAb H24, recognized a Plasmodium falciparum antigen with a relative molecular mass (M(r)) of 52 kD that appeared to be a rhoptry component by immunofluorescence microscopy. The antigen is synthesized during both ring and schizont stages, but pulse-chase experiments showed that it is not carried through to the next ring stage after reinvasion. It was not labeled by 3H-glucosamine. The purified MAb failed to inhibit parasite invasion in vitro. The antigen was isolated using affinity chromatography, and used to produce a monospecific polyclonal antibody (PAb H24) in mice. Polyclonal antibody H24 recognized the same antigen as MAb H24 as judged by both immunofluorescence microscopy and immunoprecipitation followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and was markedly inhibitory in vitro.
