Objective To construct phage display single-chain antibody fragments (scFvs) library against histidine-rich protein Ⅱ (HRP-Ⅱ) of Plasmodium falciparum and select specific scFvs of anti- HRP-Ⅱ for the purpose of malaria diagnosis. Method The genes of variable fragments of heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) were gained from the spleen cells of BALB/c mice immunized with HRP-Ⅱ protein. The VH and VL genes were then assembled by the method of splicing overlapping extension and cloned into phagemid vector pCANTAB 5E. The scFv phage antibodies were expressed at the surface of the phage after the rescue by helper phage M13K07. HRP- Ⅱ protein was used as antigenic reagent for panning and screening. Results The total RNA from the spleen cells was isolated, and cDNA obtained and VH and VL gene regions amplified using PCR. The VH and VL gene regions were combined with a flexible linker ligated into the pCANTAB 5E phagemid vector, and transformed into TG1 Escherichia coli. The repertoire of the phage antibody was about 106. After panning and screening, 8 positive clones expressed scFv antibodies which were specific for HPR-Ⅱ as demonstrated by ELISA. Conclusion Phage display technology can be used as a powerful tool in making scFv antibodies which have the potential to be used as reagents in the diagnosis and therapy of malaria.%目的构建抗恶性疟原虫富含组氨酸蛋白Ⅱ（Histidine- rich protein II, HRP-II）单链抗体库，并筛选出阳性克隆。方法用噬菌体抗体库技术构建抗恶性疟原虫HRP-Ⅱ单链抗体库，并以HRP-Ⅱ为靶抗原对该库进行了三轮"亲和吸附-援救-感染扩增"的富集，挑取单菌落筛选并鉴定阳性克隆。结果获得目的基因并成功构建抗恶性疟原虫HRP-Ⅱ的单链抗体库，库容为106，并从中筛选出8株阳性克隆。结论噬菌体抗体库技术具有高效的筛选性能，抗 HRP-Ⅱ单链抗体的制备为其在恶性疟的免疫快速诊断方法中的应用奠定了基础。
