2020-07-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Sequestration and cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum -infected erythrocytes (IE) to microvascular endothelium alters endothelial barrier function and plays a role in the pathogenesis of severe malaria. Binding of IE is mediated by P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) and the PfEMP1 variants that binds to endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) have, in particular, been as...
