Abstract excerpt
The recognition and invasion of human erythrocytes by the most lethal malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is dependent on multiple ligand-receptor interactions. Members of the erythrocyte binding-like (ebl) family, including the erythrocyte binding antigen-175 (EBA-175), are responsible for high affinity binding to glycoproteins on the surface of the erythrocyte. Here we describe a paralogue of EBA-175 and...
