Study of platelet-mediated clumping adhesion phenotypes in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
- Abstract:
-
Platelet-mediated clumping of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) is a common property of field isolates associated with severe disease (Pain, Ferguson et al. 2001). Platelet receptors CD36 (Pain, Ferguson et al. 2001), P-Selectin (Wassmer, Taylor et al. 2008) and gC1qR (Biswas, Hafiz et al. 2007) mediate clumping. To characterize the molecular specificities of the clumping phenotype, I cloned clumping parasite line IT/C10 by limit...
