Abstract	Immunization with a particulate fraction of blood-stage antigens was shown previously to protect mice against Plasmodium yoelii malaria. To identify antigens inducing the protective response, sera from immunized mice were used to screen a P. yoelii cDNA expression library. Sequence analysis of one 2.6-kb cDNA clone indicated that the identified gene, pypag-1, encoded a novel plasmodial antigen. Two nonoverlapping regions of pypag-1 were expressed in Escherichia coli. The first recombinant antigen, pAg-1N, contained the N-terminal 337 residues, which included a putative transmembrane domain and a region relatively rich in tryptophan residues. The second recombinant antigen, pAg-1C, contained the remaining C-terminal 211 residues, which included 31 copies of a 5-amino-acid degenerative repeat. Immunoblot studies using rabbit antiserum raised against recombinant pAg-1N showed that the native pypAg-1 protein migrated at approximately 98 kDa, considerably slower than its predicted molecular mass of 66 kDa. Immunofluorescence studies localized the expression of the native pypAg-1 protein both to the cytoplasm and at the surface of P. yoelii-infected erythrocytes. Immunization with either pAg-1N or pAg-1C induced a four- to sevenfold reduction in P. yoelii blood-stage parasitemia. As such, pypAg-1 appears to contain at least two distinct protective epitopes. To our knowledge, this is the first characterization of a protective antigen of P. yoelii that is associated with the erythrocyte membrane.
