The identification of malarial antigens that induce protective immunity could provide a rational basis for developing an effective antimalarial vaccine as well as specific serodiagnostic tests indicative of clinical immune status. Since protective immunity is probably induced by stage-dependent rather than stage-independent antigens, the antigenic composition of different stages of Plasmodium knowlesi has been compared, and a limited chemical characterization undertaken. This information should provide some insight into the types of preparative procedure appropriate for the purification of functionally important malarial antigens.
鉴定能诱导保护性免疫的疟疾抗原可为开发有效的抗疟疫苗以及指示临床免疫状态的特异性血清诊断试验提供合理依据。由于保护性免疫可能是由阶段依赖性而非阶段非依赖性抗原诱导的,因此已对诺氏疟原虫不同阶段的抗原组成进行了比较,并进行了有限的化学特性分析。这些信息应能为适合纯化具有功能重要性的疟疾抗原的制备程序类型提供一些见解。
