Some molecular characteristics of Plasmodium falciparum lines which do not produce gametocytes are described. Parasites carrying a subtelomerically deleted chromosome 9 cannot form even the earliest forms of gametocytes, detectable with antibodies against the gametocyte-specific antigen Pfg27. In a parasite culture of clone HB3, in which both intact and deleted forms of chromosome 9 are present, full-length...
