Abstract excerpt
A new method which allows the enzymatic amplification of DNA extracted from whole blood dried on filter paper disks is presented. The method was used to study heterogeneity within an erythrocyte-binding antigen (EBA-175) of Plasmodium falciparum. Blood specimens from malaria-infected patients in Southeast Asia and Africa were spotted onto filter paper, dried, and transported for processing. P. falciparum DNA was...
