Plasmodium falciparum: characterization of defined antigens by monoclonal antibodies.

L H Perrin, E Ramirez, L Er-Hsiang, P H Lambert
PMCID: PMC1536927  PMID: 6160002

Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies directed against Plasmodium falciparum detect stage-specific, species-specific and common antigenic determinants of Plasmodia. These antibodies provide new tools for purification and characterization of Plasmodium falciparum antigens in relation to future procedures for immunoprophylaxis.
