The importance of carbohydrate moieties for the antigenicity of purified soluble Plasmodium falciparum antigens from the asexual blood stage was tested. Digestion of the soluble antigens with alpha-D-galactosidase clearly affected the ability of the antigen to react with malaria-immune sera from different geographical origins in crossed immunoelectrophoresis and immunoblotting. Antigens of 220, 180, 80, and 74 kilodaltons were affected by the enzyme treatment. Furthermore, the enzyme digestion reduced the ability of the purified soluble antigen to stimulate lymphocytes from malaria-immune donors. The results might have important implications for the strategy of developing a malaria vaccine.
