Abstract
Proteins of erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum were biosynthetically labeled at different times during the first cycle of in vitro synchronous cultivation after collection from patients in the Madang region of Papua New Guinea. Proteins were immunoprecipitated with a pool of hyperimmune serum collected in the region then analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. Antigens were recognized in all life cycle stages but the majority of antigens, particularly those of high molecular weight, were present in the mature forms of the parasite.
