Changes in var gene mRNA levels during erythrocytic development in two phenotypically distinct Plasmodium falciparum parasites
BACKGROUND: The var multigene family encodes PfEMP1, which are expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes and bind to various host endothelial receptors. Antigenic variation of PfEMP1 plays a key role in malaria pathogenesis, a process partially controlled at the level of var gene transcripti...
