Uncovering the role of Rad51 in homologous recombination-mediated antigenic diversification in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum maintains the chronicity of infections through antigenic variation, a well-coordinated immune evasion mechanism. The most prominent molecular determinant of antigenic variation in this parasite includes the members of the var multigene family. Homolog...
