A Multidomain Adhesion Protein Family Expressed inPlasmodium falciparumIs Essential for Transmission to the Mosquito
7 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
The recent sequencing of several apicomplexan genomes has provided the opportunity to characterize novel antigens essential for the parasite life cycle that might lead to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic markers. Here we have screened the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequence for genes encoding extracellular multidomain putative adhesive proteins. Three of these identified genes, named PfCCp1,...
