Abstract excerpt
The relationship between antigenic variation, cytoadherence, rosette formation, and the pathogenesis of malaria has led to great interest in the diversity of these properties in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from different communities. In this study, we extend previous investigations by delineating the spectrum of agglutinating phenotypes, adherence to C32 melanoma cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells...
