Antibodies to specific domains of Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein‐1 and its relationship with protection from severe malarial anemia: A prospective study among Ghanaian children

Abstract Background Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein‐1 (PfEMP‐1) is important in malaria pathogenicity as it mediates Pf‐infected erythrocytes cytoadherence to host endothelial microvasculature receptors. Naturally acquired antibodies against specific PfEMP‐1 antigens may be benefi...
