Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of naturally acquired immune response to malaria in individuals of different age groups belonging to areas of northern India, Loni PHC (LN) and Dhaulana PHC (SD) of district Ghaziabad. Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocyte lysate and six synthetic peptides from different stages of P. falciparum (CSP, MSP1, AMA1, RAP1, EBA175 and PfG27) were used to determine both humoral and cellular immune responses. Plasma of individual subject was also analyzed for IL-4, IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α level. We observed an age-wise increasing trend of immunity in these two populations. There was a significant association between the number of antibody responders and recognition of stage-specific epitopes by antibodies. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of more than 75% of individuals proliferated in response to stimulation by all the antigens in LN area. IL-4 and IL-10 responses were significa...
