A 50 kilodalton exoantigen specific to the merozoite release-reinvasion stage of Plasmodium falciparum. 1985

P Delplace, and J F Dubremetz, and B Fortier, and A Vernes

The immunoglobulins G of a human plasma inhibiting in vitro Plasmodium falciparum merozoite reinvasion have been purified and used to immunoprecipitate the antigens released into the culture medium by an [35S]methionine-labeled synchronous culture. Several of the major exoantigens identified were found throughout the entire life cycle; they were also immunoprecipitated from the labeled parasitized cells. Some antigens were found only after the reinvasion stage, and especially a major one of molecular mass 50 kDa and pI 5.5. The latter was not found in the parasitized cells but derived most likely from the processing of a major 126 kDa antigen which disappeared from the parasites during the reinvasion period and which was immunoprecipitated by an anti-50 kDa monoclonal antibody.

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.

D010961 Plasmodium A genus of protozoa that comprise the malaria parasites of mammals. Four species infect humans (although occasional infections with primate malarias may occur). These are PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; PLASMODIUM OVALE, and PLASMODIUM VIVAX. Species causing infection in vertebrates other than man include: PLASMODIUM BERGHEI; PLASMODIUM CHABAUDI; P. vinckei, and PLASMODIUM YOELII in rodents; P. brasilianum, PLASMODIUM CYNOMOLGI; and PLASMODIUM KNOWLESI in monkeys; and PLASMODIUM GALLINACEUM in chickens.
