Lactoperoxidase-catalysed radio-iodination was used to compare the surface proteins on red cells from Plasmodium yoelii-infected with normal BALB/c mice. The profile of radio-iodinated proteins separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was different for infected blood of similar parasitaemia from mice inoculated with different doses of the parasite. Inoculation with different doses of the parasite. Inoculation with the lower dose resulted in the appearance of a major radio-iodinated protein of apparent molecular weight (Mr) 76 000 which was labelled to a similar extent on uninfected red cells from infected blood and purified multinucleate infected cells. Several minor radio-iodinated bands, with identical mobilities to the minor bands on normal BALB/c erythrocytes, were also present on red cells from this infected blood. In contrast, the higher inoculation dose produced changes in the minor labelled bands, and the band with Mr of 76 000 was absent. In this case, the minor radio-iodinated proteins of the normal BALB/c erythrocyte (with Mr of 65 000, 57 000, 48 000, 38 000 and 32 000) were replaced by a series of bands with Mr of 60 000, 50 000, 43 000 and 28 000 on both uninfected and infected red cells. These differences with inoculation dose may be related to the different duration of these infections, the development of anaemia and the extent of pathological changes at the erythrocyte surface. P. yoelii infection caused a marked loss in periodate-dependent labelling of sialoglycoproteins on most, if not all, red cells in infected blood. There was also a large decrease in galactose oxidase-dependent glycoprotein labelling with or without neuraminidase treatment. These changes in the carbohydrate groups on red cell membrane glycoproteins may be linked to the excessive loss of both uninfected and infected red cells during some malaria infections.
