IMMUNOADSORBENT ISOLATION OF ANTIGENS FROM THE CULTURE MEDIUM OF IN VITRO CULTIVATEDPLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM

Abstract
Immunoadsorbent technique was used for isolation of soluble antigens from the culture medium of in vitro grown P. falciparum. Two antigens were isolated and were immunochemically identical to 2 antigens present in plasma from West Africans with P. falciparum parasitemia. Evidence is provided that 1 of the antigens is an amphiphilic antigen of the S-class.
