Rolling and stationary cytoadhesion of red blood cells parasitized by <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>: separate roles for ICAM‐1, CD36 and thrombospondin
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
Adhesion of parasitized erythrocytes to microvascular endothelium is a central event in the pathogenesis of severe falciparum malaria. We have characterized the adhesion of flowing parasitized red blood cells to three of the known endothelial receptors coated on plastic surfaces (CD36, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and thrombospondin (TSP)), and also to cells bearing these receptors (human umbilical...
