Immunization against malaria with antigen from Plasmodium falciparum cultivated in vitro. 1978

R T Reese, and W Trager, and J B Jensen, and D A Miller, and R Tantravahi

Aotus monkeys, which are generally killed when infected with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, have been identified and grouped by karyotype. These animals were immunized with parasite material obtained from P. falciparum cultivated in vitro which had been maintained in culture for over a year. When sufficient amounts of this antigenic material were used with a synthetic muramyl dipeptide (MDP), protective immunity was induced without presenting the antigen in complete Freund's adjuvant.

D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.
