Studies of the Host Response and the Induction of Immunosuppression in Murine Malaria
Abstract
dc:descriptionVarious fractions were separated from Plasmodium berghei infected erythrocytes and tested for suppression of the immune response to SRBC. Membranes containing fractions Peak I (C), Peak I (G), and the sodium deoxycholate void volume all act as a vaccine against Plasmodium infection and are all without immunosuppressive activity as assayed by the plaque technique. Immunosuppressive activity was found in association with the sedimented parasite fragments (E), detergent-insoluble components (N), and Sephadex G-200 eluate fractions (H(,1), D(,1)).
