Identification of novel PfEMP1 variants containing domain cassettes 11, 15 and 8 that mediate the <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> virulence-associated rosetting phenotype
2024-07-22
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a diverse family of variant surface antigens, encoded by var genes, that mediates binding of infected erythrocytes to human cells and plays a key role in parasite immune evasion and malaria pathology. The increased availability of parasite genome sequence data has revolutionised the ability to study PfEMP1 diversity across multiple P. falciparum is...
