Abstract excerpt
Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC) is a promiscuous receptor for chemokines that is required for Plasmodium vivax infection of erythroid cells. This receptor is expressed by subsets of endothelial, as well as erythroid cells. Selection for protection from malaria infection resulted in an erythroid-specific defect, suggesting that DARC may play a critical role in endothelial biology. Mice with targeted...
