Redefining the expressed prototype SICAvar gene involved in Plasmodium knowlesi antigenic variation

BACKGROUND: The SICAvar gene family, expressed at the surface of infected erythrocytes, is critical for antigenic variation in Plasmodium knowlesi. When this family was discovered, a prototypic SICAvar gene was characterized and defined by a 10-exon structure. The predicted 205-kDa protein lacked a...
