A malaria heat‐shock‐like determinant expressed on the infected hepatocyte surface is the target of antibody‐dependent cell‐mediated cytotoxic mechanisms by nonparenchymal liver cells

Cultured hepatic stages of Plasmodium falciparum and P. yoelii and with a monoclonal antibody recognizing a C‐terminal fragment of the P. falciparum heat‐shock‐like protein (Pfhsp70) revealed that synthesis of this antigen first occurs during intrahepatic development of the parasite, at the two nucl...
