Excerpt
It i.s well. known that an immune response occurs in malaria inf'ections of man and animals However, there have been few methods available to detect and measure humoral antibodies elaborated against the parasite Eaton (1938) described an agglutination t e s t using homologous antigen and the sera of monkeys ckircnicalljr infected or' recovered from Plasniodium knowlesi. Eaton & Coggeshall (1939) demonstrated complement f ixine; antibodies i n monkeys immunized by injections of killed Plasmodium knowlesi antigen They came to the conclusion that such antibodies were g~oup-, not strain-specific and did not confer protection against fwther infection. Sutliff e t a l , (1950) found the complement fixation t e s t w i t h P. krlowlesi valuable in detecting cases where the clinical picture ----- and history indicates malaria but parasitaemia is not demonstrable. More recently the fluorescent antibody technique has been appliea by Tobie Sc Coatney (1961)~ Tobie, Kuvir,, Coatney & Evans (1962), and Voller & Bray (1962).
