A majority of Plasmodium falciparum strains invade erythrocytes through interactions with
sialic acid (SA) on glycophorins. However, we recently reported that complement receptor 1 …

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 …

Background. Plasmodium falciparum invades human erythrocytes by using an array of
ligands that interact with several receptors, including sialic acid (SA), complement receptor 1 …

Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe form of malaria disease in
humans, causing more than 1 million deaths each year. As an obligate intracellular parasite …

Antibodies that inhibit Plasmodium falciparum invasion of erythrocytes are believed to be an
important component of immunity against malaria. During blood-stage infection, P …

Erythrocyte invasion by malaria parasites is mediated by specific molecular interactions.
Sialic acid residues of glycophorin A are used as invasion receptors by Plasmodium …

In vitro experimentation with Plasmodium falciparum has determined that a number of
different receptor-ligand interactions are involved in the invasion of erythrocytes. Most …

Abstract The Plasmodium falciparum adhesin PfRh4 binds to complement receptor type-1
(CR1) on human erythrocytes and mediates a glycophorin-independent invasion pathway …

The invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum occurs through multiple pathways
that can be studied in vitro by examining the invasion of erythrocytes treated with enzymes …

Plasmodium falciparum invasion into human erythrocytes relies on the interaction between
multiple parasite ligands and their respective erythrocyte receptors. The sialic acid …
