David H. Schlesinger,* Alan H. Cochrane, Robert W. Gwadz, G. Nigel Godson, Richard Melton, Ruth S. Nussenzweig, and Victor Nussenzweig abstract: Previous studies have shown that the immunodominant region of the circumsporozoite surface (CS) protein of Plasmodiumknowlesi is contained within a tandemly re-peated dodecapeptide: Gln-Ala-Gln-Gly-Asp-Gly-Ala-Asn-Ala-Gly-Gln-Pro. We show here that theCS protein epitopes reacting with six monoclonal antibodies raised against the intact parasite are represented in a synthetic tandem repeat of this dodecapeptide. The specificity of four of these anti-bodies was studied further by preparing synthetic peptides¡ Sporozoites are the infective stage of Plasmodium protozoan parasites. The membrane of sporozoites is covered with a protein [circumsporozoite surface (CS) 1 protein; reviewed in Nussenzweig & Nussenweig (1984)] which is synthesized in relatively large amounts when the parasite matures inside the salivary glands of the invertebrate host, Anopheles mosquitoes. Fab fragments of monoclonal antibodies to CS proteins neu-tralize the infectivity of the sporozoites and prevent their attachment to the target cells in vitro (Hollingdale et al., 1982). For these reasons, it has been suggested that the CS protein plays a role in theprocess of invasion of the host liver cells
