PfEMP1's magical embrace of EPCR.

Cell host & microbe - 14 Jan 2015

Fairhurst Rick M

Abstract excerpt

Since discovering PfEMP1 virulence proteins in Plasmodium falciparum, malariologists have struggled to reconcile their limitless sequence diversity with their binding to relatively few host receptors. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Lau et al. (2015) explore how diverse PfEMP1s embrace EPCR, promoting parasite survival and killing African children.
