Immunological study in avian malaria (P. gallinaceum) by the anaphylactic reaction

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

  1. 1.

    A procedure has been described for preparing hæmoglobin-free erythrocyte protein of the chick and the malarial parasite protein (P. gallinaceum) for use as test antigens.

  2. 2.

    Schultz-Dale technique has been used to discriminate between the two proteins and by this procedure they are qualitatively found to be anti-genically similar.

This may be one of the reasons to explain why the immunity is not a well-defined phenomenon in malarial infections.
