  IFA studies are reported using plasmodial antigens from three different stages of the life cycle of Plasmodium berghei: sporozoites (SP); exoerythrocytic schizonts in rat liver (EEF); and parasitized rat erythrocytes (SCH = schizonts). Two series of specific sera were applied: sera from adult rats with a blood-induced infection (series A) and sera from rats immunized against sporozoites by mosquito bites and protected against parasitaemia by chloroquine (series B). In series A antibody titres with all three antigens were seen, but those with SCH were generally the highest. Superinfection with parasitized rat blood did not change the titre. In series B sera, collected from rats after a single exposure to infected mosquitoes, showed only titres with SP from day 3 onwards, but after a second exposure titres to all three antigens developed. Crossreactivity with the heterologous antigens in series B was clearly less than in series A. Anti-P. berghei sporozoite antibodies did not crossreact with P. vivax sporozoites. Rats of series A were resistant to a challenge of parasitized blood and could also inhibit the development of sporozoites. Rats of series B were protected against a challenge of sporozoites but not of infected blood. The results are discussed.
