Two 20-Residue-Long Peptides Derived from <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> Merozoite Surface Protein 10 EGF-Like Domains Are Involved in Binding to Human Reticulocytes

Two 20-Residue-Long Peptides Derived from <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> Merozoite Surface Protein 10 EGF-Like Domains Are Involved in Binding to Human Reticulocytes

<i>Plasmodium</i> parasites’ invasion of their target cells is a complex, multi-step process involving many protein-protein interactions. Little is known about how complex the interaction with target cells is in <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> and few surface molecules related to ret...
