A member of a Plasmodium receptor family for erythrocyte invasion was identified on
chromosome 13 from the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequence of the Sanger Centre …

Malaria parasites make specific receptor–ligand interactions to invade erythrocytes. A 175
kDa Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte binding antigen (EBA-175) binds sialic acid …

The global agenda for malaria eradication would benefit from development of a highly
efficacious vaccine that protects against disease and interrupts transmission of Plasmodium …

Plasmodium falciparum is a highly lethal malaria parasite of humans. A major portion of its
life cycle is dedicated to invading and multiplying inside erythrocytes. The molecular …

Invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium merozoites is an intricate process involving multiple
receptor-ligand interactions. The glycophorins and an unknown trypsin sensitive factor are …

The 175-kDa Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte binding protein (EBA-175) binds to its
receptor, sialic acids on glycophorin A. The binding region within EBA-175 is a cysteine-rich …

Invasion of erythrocytes by malaria parasites involves multiple receptor-ligand interactions.
To elucidate these pathways, we made use of four parasite clones with differing specificities …

Multiple and seemingly sequential interactions between parasite ligands and their receptors
on host erythrocytes are an essential precursor to invasion by the obligate intracellular …

Plasmodium falciparum-infected human erythrocytes evade host immunity by expression of
a ceil-surface variant antigen and receptors for adherence to endothelial cells. These …

Background Acquired antibodies are important in human immunity to malaria, but key
targets remain largely unknown. Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte-binding-homologue-4 …
