2019-10-18
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND : During P. falciparum infection, the binding of P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) to endothelial cells (EC) results in the sequestration of pRBC. Several receptors located on the endothelial cells, including intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), CD36, and endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), contribute to PfEMP1 adhesion to the microvasculature. PfEMP1, expressed on the surf...
