Immunization against Plasmodium falciparum asexual blood stages using soluble antigens. 1984

L H Perrin, and M Loche, and J P Dedet, and C Roussilhon, and T Fandeur

Saimiri sciureus monkeys have been successfully immunized against a human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, using soluble antigens purified from schizont and merozoite extracts. High levels of antibodies reacting with schizont and merozoite specific polypeptides of 140 and 200 kdaltons were detected in the sera of protected monkeys. The five immunized monkeys survived a challenge infection with 5 X 10(7) parasites inducing a fulminant disease in control monkeys.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

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.
