Mass spectrometric analysis of Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein‐1 variants expressed by placental malaria parasites
23 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Surface proteins from Plasmodium falciparum are important malaria vaccine targets. However, the surface proteins previously identified are highly variant and difficult to study. We used tandem mass spectrometry to characterize the variant antigens (Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1)) expressed on the surface of malaria-infected erythrocytes that bind to chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) in...
