SYNOPSIS. Plasmodium lophurae hemozoin (malaria pigment) is a heme‐containing protein which is distinctly different from hemoglobin and hematin by immunologic, spectrophotometric, fingerprint, heme‐iron, gel filtration, and starch gel electrophoretic analyses. The calculated average molecular weight of P. lophurae hemozoin is ca. 40,000. Hemozoin contains at least 3 antigenic components and shows some indication of cross‐reaction with hemoglobin.
