    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To detect the rhoptry and surface proteins of invasive stages of Plasmodium yoelii and P. berghei with monoclonal antibodies. METHODS: Subcellular localization of antigens was detected by IFA. The antigens of different stages of the two species malaria parasites were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: The antigens of rhoptry are very complicated. There are similar epitopes of the rhoptry proteins detected between the two species of Plasmodium. The similar epitopes were also detected between ookinetes and merozoites of P. yoelii, and ookinete antigens between the two species. But there are different antigens detected between merozoites and ookinetes in P. yoelii. The sporozoite surface antigen of P. yoelii was not detected in the ookinetes and merozoites in the same species. CONCLUSION: There are similar epitopes in the rhoptry and surface antigens of different stages and different species of rodent malaria parasites. There are also distinct antigens among them.
