Abstract excerpt
Parasite isolates from Brazilian Western Amazonian patients suffering from uncomplicated falciparum malaria were matured in vitro and their var gene transcripts were analysed by RT-PCR and sequencing. Additionally, the cytoadherence patterns of these isolates were determined by panning techniques using transfected CHO cell lines expressing different surface receptors. All of the isolates tested showed between 4...
