Cryo-electron microscopy of IgM-VAR2CSA complex reveals IgM inhibits binding of Plasmodium falciparum to Chondroitin Sulfate A

Placental malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) adhering to chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in placenta via VAR2CSA-type PfEMP1. Human pentameric immunoglobulin M (IgM) binds to several types of PfEMP1, including VAR2CSA via its Fc domain. Here, a 3.6 Å cryo-electr...
