Insect Expression> | … Monoclonal antibodies against AgTRIO were generated by GenScript 201 (Piscataway, NJ) using 10 μg purified AgTRIO expressed by baculovirus (9). Individual 202 hybridoma supernatants were screened by ELISA for binding to the native AgTRIO 203 protein from saliva to … | Get A Quote |

Malaria begins when an infected mosquito injects saliva containing sporozoites into the skin of a vertebrate host. Passive immunization of mice with mosquito AgTRIO antisera offers significant protection against 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 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 requi...
