    • Human antibodies to the repeat regions of the Plasmodium falciparum asexual blood stage antigen Pf155/RESA interfere with parasite growth in vitro, but the significance in this respect of antibodies to non-repetitive epitopes is less clear. In this study the levels of antibodies to a non-repetitive part of Pf155/RESA (residue 199–221) in malaria-exposed individuals were analysed, as was the parasite-inhibitory capacity of such antibodies. Residue 199–221 is of particular interest since it includes a sequence homologous to a cytoadherence-related motif from band 3. Sera from donors in Liberia and Tanzania were analysed for reactivity in ELISA with synthetic peptides together overlapping this part of Pf155/RESA. High antibody reactivity was observed in most of the sera with two peptides including residues 199–211 and 202–214, respectively. Specific antibodies were affinity-purified from selected sera using these peptide sequences and were shown to react with Pf155/RESA by immunofluorescence and Western blotting. The purified antibodies were furthermore shown to inhibit parasite growth in vitro. The results suggest that both repeat and non-repeat epitopes in Pf155/RESA elicit antibodies with potential to protect against malaria infection.
