Immunization of rabbits with recombinant PfRh5 and PfRip5 induces strain-transcending parasite growth inhibitory antibodies. The PfRh5 ectodomain sequence and the C-terminal PfRipr fragment were cloned and expressed in E. coli and baculovirus-infected Hi-5 cells, respectively. SDS-PAGE analysis (A) of the purified recombinant proteins. Total IgG purified from sera of PfRh5 (B) and PfRipr (C) immunized rabbits was added to P. falciparum 3D7, W2Mef, and FCR3 cultures to determine their capacity to inhibit parasite growth.
