N2 - The PfEMP1 family of proteins expressed on the Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocyte (IE) surface is the main target of naturally acquired immunity against malaria. Antibodies capable of opsonizing the IEs and blocking the binding between PfEMP1 and human receptors seems to be one of the main protective mechanisms of the naturally acquired immunity. Therefore this family of antigens is intensively studied. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are a very valuable research tool for studying this diverse family of proteins and their interaction with human receptors. As examples, mAbs can be used to identify protective epitopes, epitopes that are targets of cross-reactive antibodies, and the surface expression of specific PfEMP1 variants. Fusing mouse splenocytes with myeloma cells to generate long-lived antibody secreting hybridoma cell lines have been used since the 1970s for the production of mAbs. In this chapter, we describe a simple, reliable, and relatively fast method for producing PfEMP1-specific mAbs from mouse spleen cells using semisolid HAT selection medium.
