Antibodies Targeting the PfRH1 Binding Domain Inhibit Invasion of Plasmodium falciparum Merozoites

10 Jul 2008

Abstract excerpt

Invasion by the malaria merozoite depends on recognition of specific erythrocyte surface receptors by parasite ligands. Plasmodium falciparum uses multiple ligands, including at least two gene families, reticulocyte binding protein homologues (RBLs) and erythrocyte binding proteins/ligands (EBLs). The combination of different RBLs and EBLs expressed in a merozoite defines the invasion pathway utilized and could...
