The predicted open reading frame (ORF) D13 contains 863 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 99.7 kDa and displays a repeat region composed of pentapeptide motives. Northern blot analysis with lysates of synchronized blood stage parasites showed that D13 is highly expressed at the mRNA level during schizogony. The first N\u2032-terminal 138 amino acids of D13 were expressed in\n            <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n            and the purified protein was used to generate anti-D13 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Using total lysates of blood stage parasites and Western blot analysis, these MAbs stained one single band of \u223c100 kDa, corresponding to the predicted molecular mass of ORF D13. Western blot analysis demonstrated further that D13 is expressed during schizogony, declines rapidly in early ring stages and is undetectable in trophozoites. D13 protein is localized in individual merozoites in a distinct area, as demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence analysis. After subcellular fractionation, D13 was confined to the pelleted fraction of the parasite lysate and its extraction by alkaline carbonate buffer treatment indicated that D13 is not a membrane-integral protein. Inclusion of certain anti-D13 MAbs into in vitro cultures of blood stage parasites resulted in considerable reduction in parasite growth. The N\u2032-terminal domain encompassing 158 amino acids is 94 and 95%, respectively, identical at the amino acid level between\n            <jats:italic>Plasmodium knowlesi<\/jats:italic>\n            ,\n            <jats:italic>Plasmodium yoelii<\/jats:italic>\n            , and\n            <jats:italic>P. falciparum<\/jats:italic>\n            .
