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

“…Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a diverse family of variant surface antigens, encoded by var genes, that mediates binding of infected erythrocytes to human cells and plays a key role in parasite immune evasion and malaria pathology. The increased availability of parasite genome sequence data has revolutionised the study of PfEMP1 diversity across multiple P. falciparum isolates. …”
