Abstract:
Human cellular responses to plasmodium vivax blood stage antigens were studied.
Two catagories of malaria convalescents - individuals resident in a malaria
non-endemic region and individuals resident in a malaria endemic area were
included. The cellular responses assayed were proliferatio and IFN gamma
production by peripheral mononuclear cells in response to a soluble extract of
P.vivax blood stage antigen, to two cloned P.vivax antigens GAM - 1 and PV 200
used as bacterial fusion proteins, a non malarial antigen PPD and to a mitogen
