A range of 22 mouse anti-P. falciparum monoclonal antibodies was characterized by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation. On the basis of these studies, 5 groups of antibodies and 6 classes of antigen were defined. Group 1 antibodies give bright, uniform, generalized staining of all blood stages including gametocytes. Three of these antibodies precipitate a metabolically labeled molecule(s) of 35 kDa [kilodalton]. One precipitates a 50 kDa antigen. Group 2 antibodies, which give strong localized immunofluorescence in merozoites, and a weak diffuse pattern in earlier stages, precipitate biosynthetically labeled molecules of 160 kDA. Group 3 antibodies react with all asexual stages. With merozoites they produce intense staining around the perimeter, both in fixed and unfixed preparations. They precipitate biosynthetic molecules of 190 kDa. Group 4 antibodies are identical to Group 3 except they are stage-restricted to schizonts and merozoites. They also precipitate 190 kDa antigens. These are readily accessible to 125I-lactoperoxidase labeling. One antibody also precipitates a set of smaller peptides. Group V antibodies produce very bright ill-defined staining of pigment-containing parasites, as well as of inclusions in the red cell. They precipitate a series of molecules of 160, 60 and 35 kDa which are readily accessible to 125I. The 160 kDa molecule is also labeled by [35S]methionine. Results are discussed in the context of the development of a malaria vaccine and immunodiagnostic tests.
