Staining of Malarial Parasites by the Fluorescent Antibody Technic

Abstract

Two species of malarial parasites have been stained by the fluorescent antibody technic. P. cynomolgi bastianellii was stained with antibodies obtained from convalescent Rhesus monkeys experimentally infected with the parasite. The erythrocytic stage of P. gallinaceum was stained with antibodies produced in rabbits by injections of the sporozoite stage of the organism.
