Descrição: The mechanisms by which antibodies interfere with Plasmodium growth are still under debate. Characterizing the asexual erythrocyte stages susceptible to antibodies from hyperimmune individuals is therefore a relevant contribution to vaccine research. In this study, using a virulent and synchronous murine malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AJ, we have shown that trophozoites and circulating schizonts are not the main targets for antibodies from hyperimmune serum. In drug‐cured mice challenged with a high inoculum of ring‐infected erythrocytes, parasitemias do not decline until the moment of erythrocyte rupture, suggesting that effector mechanisms operate immediately prior to reinvasion. Confirming these findings, treatment of primary‐infected mice with hyperimmune serum inhibited the generation of new ring forms, but did not alter the numbers of schizont‐infected erythrocytes, despite the fact that these cells were recognized by immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies. When these mice were treated with IgG1 or IgG2a purified from hyperimmune serum, both subclasses limited reinvasion, but IgG2a showed a stronger protective activity. The fact that Fc digestion decreases but does not abrogate protection suggests that both Fc‐dependent and independent mechanisms participate in this process. Treatment with cobra venom factor did not interfere with the antibody‐mediated protection, ruling out the participation of the complement system in both lysis and phagocytosis of merozoites or infected erythrocytes. Therefore, in mice suffering from P. c. chabaudi AJ malaria, merozoite neutralization seems to be a major mechanism of protection conferred by hyperimmune serum antibodies. However, FcγR‐mediated interactions, or other mechanisms not yet defined, may also contribute to inhibit erythrocyte reinvasion.
