The nonspecific B-cell response induced by infecting mice with two nonlethal malaria parasites, Plasmodium chabaudi adami and Plasmodium yoelii, was analyzed in an isotype-specific reverse plaque assay. Our results showed different isotypic patterns in the two infections, although cells secreting immunoglobulin of all isotypes were increased to some extent. P. yoelii induced large increases in secreting cells of all isotypes; IgG2a-secreting cells were increased out of proportion to those of the other IgG classes. P. chabaudi induced large increases in secreting cells of all isotypes except IgG1. In addition, there was not a disproportionate increase in cells secreting IgG2a. The data show that these "polyclonal" responses are different during each infection. There are marked similarities between the distribution of "nonspecific isotypes" and the specific antibodies formed in each infection.
