SummaryIncreases in β2M macroglobulins have been detected by means of immunoelectrophoresis during the course of induced malarial infections in man. The increase in this serum globulin coincides closely with the appearance of antibodies to malaria as detected by fluorescent antibody studies. Evidence is presented that 19S β2M macroglobulin antibodies as well as 7S gamma globulin antibodies are formed during the course of primary malarial infections in human volunteers.
