Antigenic variation in Plasmodium falciparum malaria is mediated by transcriptional
switches between different members of the multicopy var gene family. Each var gene …

Antigenic variation to fool the immune system is one of the molecular tricks Plasmodium
uses to maintain infection in its human host. The exclusive expression of the surface …

Mutually exclusive gene expression, whereby only one member of a multi-gene family is
selected for activation, is used by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to escape the …

In the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum antigenic variation facilitates long‐
term chronic infection of the host. This is achieved by sequential expression of a single …

The genome of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum contains several multicopy
gene families, including var, rifin, stevor and Pfmc‐2TM. These gene families undergo …

Antigenic variation in Plasmodium falciparum is regulated by transcriptional switches among
members of the var gene family, each expressed in a mutually exclusive manner and …

Antigenic variation of Plasmodium falciparum is mediated by a mutually exclusive
expression mechanism that limits expression to an individual member of the multicopy va r …

Many pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa achieve chronic infection through an immune
evasion strategy known as antigenic variation. In the human malaria parasite Plasmodium …

Antigenic variation and immune evasion by Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes
are mediated by expression switches among members of the multicopy var gene family …

Phenotypic variation in genetically identical malaria parasites is an emerging topic. Although
antigenic variation is only part of a more global parasite strategy to create adaptation …
