23 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Adhesion of human erythrocytes infected with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to host endothelium has been associated with severe forms of this disease. A number of endothelial receptors have been identified, and there is evidence that one of these, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), may play an important role in the pathology of cerebral malaria. Mutagenesis of domain 1 of ICAM-1, which is...
