I.v. injections of glucan simultaneously with Formalin-killed erythrocytic stages of P. berghei elicited a greater degree of resistance in mice against subsequent infection with viable parasites than injections of killed erythrocytic stages alone. In 2 experiments with P. berghei strain NK 65, 100% of mice immunized with the glucan-dead parasite preparation survived challenge; only 28.6% of mice receiving dead parasites alone survived. In the 3rd experiment, using P. berghei strain NYU-2, the same proportion of mice survived after immunization with glucan and dead parasites as with dead parasites alone (i.e., 10 of 11 in each group), but mice immunized with the glucan-dead parasite preparation experienced preparation parasitemias of significantly less intensity and shorter duration than mice which received only dead parasites before infection. Inoculation of glucan alone or with normal erythrocytes conferred no protection against challenge.
