Abstract excerpt
Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum ( P. falciparum )-infected erythrocytes to host endothelium through the parasite-derived P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 ( Pf EMP1) adhesion proteins is central to the development of malaria pathogenesis. Pf EMP1 proteins have diversified and expanded to encompass many sequence variants, conferring each parasite a similar array of human endothelial...
