Expression of the MSPDBL2 antigen in a discrete subset of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> schizonts is regulated by GDV1 but not linked to sexual commitment

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein MSPDBL2 is a polymorphic antigen targeted by acquired immune responses, and normally expressed in only a minority of mature schizonts. The potential relationship of MSPDBL2 to sexual commitment is examined, as variable mspdbl2 transcript levels and proportions of MSPDBL2-positive mature schizonts in clinical isolates have previously correlate...
