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

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

Plasmodium falciparum merozoites invade erythrocytes using a range of alternative ligands
that includes erythrocyte binding antigenic proteins (EBAs) and reticulocyte binding protein …

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

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

The pathology of malaria is a consequence of the parasitaemia which develops through the
cyclical asexual replication of parasites in a patient's red blood cells. Multiple parasite ligand …

Abs that inhibit Plasmodium falciparum invasion of erythrocytes form an important
component of human immunity against malaria, but key target Ags are largely unknown …

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

Erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium requires molecules present both on the merozoite
surface and within the specialized organelles of the apical complex. The Plasmodium …

The ligands that pathogens use to invade their target cells have often proven to be good
targets for vaccine development. However, Plasmodium falciparum has redundant ligands …
