Monoclonal antibodies against the squirrel monkey Saimiri sciureus IgG have been produced for a more specific analysis of the antibody-related immunological aspects in experimental human or monkey malaria. Two monoclonal antibodies, 3D8/D5 and 3F11/G10, out of 64 reacted with distinct epitopes on the IgG present throughout the complete population without interfering with each other. The 2 monoclonal antibodies were used to develop a highly specific, reliable and sensitive two-site sandwich radioimmunoassay for the measurement of the serum IgG levels in 83 animals. The antibodies also allowed us to produce by a simple immunoabsorbent technique a highly purified IgG standard easy to calibrate and store. The assay permits the detection of IgG levels as low as 0.48 ng/ml. The standard curve is linear between 3.9 and 125 ng protein/ml and allows by a simple mathematical equation an accurate measurement of the serum IgG levels.
