Anti-Malaria (pLDH) Antibody

Targeting Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH), this mouse monoclonal antibody from Antibodies.com provides a specific tool for detecting malaria parasites in research and diagnostic assay development. pLDH is a ~33 kDa metabolic enzyme expressed by all Plasmodium species, including P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. knowlesi, making it a reliable pan-malaria biomarker that supports species-level differentiation when paired with appropriate secondary reagents. The unconjugated, purified antibody is supplied in a 1 mg vial and is validated for ELISA workflows, where it is commonly applied to capture circulating pLDH antigen from infected erythrocyte lysates or whole-blood preparations. Because pLDH clears from circulation faster than HRP-2, antibodies raised against this target are frequently used in studies of treatment response, drug efficacy monitoring, and field-surveillance antigen panels. Researchers evaluating rapid diagnostic test development, recombinant antigen standards, or malaria antigen detection protocols will find this clone useful as either a coating or detection reagent. Store refrigerated in a buffered formulation and protect from light to preserve binding activity across longitudinal studies.
