Cerebral malaria is associated with differential cytoadherence to brain endothelial cells
Abstract Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum‐infected erythrocytes (IE) within the brain microvasculature is a hallmark of cerebral malaria (CM). Using a microchannel flow adhesion assay with TNF‐activated primary human microvascular endothelial cells, we demonstrate that IE isolated from Malawia...
