Detection and measurement of species-specific malarial antibodies by immunofluorescence tests.
Species-specific serodiagnosis of malaria could be made by means of the standardized indirect fluorescent antibody test, either by determination of the usual end-point titres or by fluorescent intensity measurements on antigens. The malarial antibody levels could also be measured by the fluorescent intensity measurements at a single serum dilution. Thus the fluorescent intensity measurements could effectively replace the end point titre determination, with the advantages of standardization and saving in technician time.
