Abstract excerpt
The course of malaria does not only depend on the virulence of the parasite Plasmodium but also on properties of host erythrocytes. Here, we show that infection of erythrocytes from human sickle cell trait (HbA/S) carriers with ring stages of P. falciparum led to significantly enhanced PGE(2) formation, Ca(2+) permeability, annexin-A7 degradation, phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure at the cell surface, and...
