An attempt was made to demonstrate passive transfer of immunity using neonatal mice born to mothers resistant to schistosome infection. No immunity was demonstrated in the baby mice, suggesting that the classes of antibody which are active in this immune system are not transferrable neonatally.An interesting incidental finding was the apparent enhanced resistance of lactating mice compared to normal females or males and this was confirmed in another experiment. There was no significant difference between the susceptibility of normal females and male mice. More male worms were recovered from male mice than from virgin female mice.

SummaryA method is described for the identification of antigens by monoclonal antibodies. This is applicable whenever precipitating antibodies to the same antigens from a different species are available. The method is based upon: 1) Separation and immunoprécipitation of cellular proteins with a polyspecific antiserum in crossed immunoelectrophoresis in the presence of the non-denaturing detergent Triton X-100 and the monoclonal antibody. 2) Coprecipitation of the monoclonal antibody with its antigen. 3) Subsequent passive transfer of the monoclonal antibody in the antibody-antigen complex onto a nitrocellulose membrane. 4) Visualization of the blotted antibody using an enzyme-linked secondary antibody and a chromogenic substrate. 5) Identification of the corresponding antigen by comparisons to the immunoprecipitate pattern of the original immunoplate. To test this method we have analyzed the detection of the antigens recognized by six previously described monoclonal antibodies against platelet membrane proteins and von Willebrand factor. Specific immunoblots were obtained in each case using small amounts of monoclonal antibodies. Thus, the technique provides an alternative when epitopes are denatured by SDS, and avoids the use of radioactively labelled monoclonal antibodies.

Malaria begins when an infected mosquito injects saliva containing Plasmodium sporozoites into the skin of a vertebrate host. Passive immunization of mice with mosquito AgTRIO antisera offers significant protection against Plasmodium infection of mice. Furthermore, passive transfer of both AgTRIO antisera and an anti-circumsporozoite protein monoclonal antibody provides synergistic protection. In this study, we generated monoclonal antibodies against AgTRIO to delineate the regions of AgTRIO associated with protective immunity. Monoclonal antibody 13F-1 markedly reduced Plasmodium infection in mice and recognized a region, VDDLMAKFN, in the carboxyl terminus of AgTRIO. 13F-1 is an IgG2a isotype monoclonal antibody and the Fc region is required for protection. These data will aid in the generation of future malaria vaccines that may include both pathogen and vector antigens.
