Polymorphisms in Fc Gamma Receptors and Susceptibility to Malaria in an Endemic Population

Polymorphisms in Fc Gamma Receptors and Susceptibility to Malaria in an Endemic Population

Repeated infections by Plasmodium falciparum result in a humoral response that could reduce disease symptoms and prevent the development of clinical malaria. The principal mechanism underlying this humoral response is that immunoglobulin G (IgG) binds directly to the parasites, thus causing their ne...
