Abstract
A monoclonal antibody which identifies the human blood group Duffy (ab) is provided. Such monoclonal antibody blocks the penetration of P. vivax malaria parasite into human red blood cells by virtue of effective blocking of the target molecule of the P. vivax malaria parasite. Such monoclonal antibody has a combining site having the same stereochemistry as the ligand site on P. vivax, and elicits anti-idiotypic antibodies that react with the parasite.
