Identification of novel PfEMP1 variants containing domain cassettes 11, 15 and 8 that mediate the Plasmodium falciparum virulence-associated rosetting phenotype. by Florence E McLean, Brian R Omondi, Nouhoum Diallo, Stanley Otoboh, Carolyne Kifude, Abdirahman I Abdi, Rivka Lim, Thomas D Otto, Ashfaq Ghumra, J Alexandra Rowe

“…Here we test the hypothesis that DC11 and DC16 are the only PfEMP1 types in the P. falciparum genome that mediate rosetting, by examining a set of thirteen recent culture-adapted Kenyan parasite lines. We first analysed the var gene/PfEMP1 repertoires of the Kenyan lines and identified an average of three DC11 or DC16 PfEMP1 variants per genotype. …”
