RESUMO
In an attempt to protect mice against experimental infection with P. berghei, mice were immunized against soluble extract of P. berghei in combination with beta-1,3 glucan or FCA and also independently. Mice immunized against P. berghei antigen-glucan developed well defined cell mediated and humoral immune responses, while mice injected with antigen FCA or antigen alone developed only an antibody response. Antigen-glucan immunization afforded a high degree of immune protection to the host against the challenge with live parasites.
