  • Title: [Serodiagnosis of malaria. Plasmodium berghei and P. falciparum as antigen for the indirect immune of fluorescence test (author's transl)].
    Author: Maier WA, Piekarski G.
    Journal: Immun Infekt; 1979 Jun; 7(3):75-82. PubMed ID: 383607.
    Abstract:
    Serum samples of malaria patients were investigated by the IIFT with P. berghei antigen (from mice) and P. falciparum antigen (from in vitro cultures). Both antigens were useful principally and produced approximately identical results. P. falciparum antigen produced mostly higher titres than P. berghei antigen. In cases of lack of homologous malaria antigen it can be suitable to use an antibody-free P. berghei antigen for the IIFT, especially in cases of epidemiological studies. For the individual clinical diagnosis titres of 1:64 are significant.
