Effect of var gene disruption on switching in Plasmodium falciparum.
The molecular mechanisms underpinning switching of variant antigens on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes are poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that insertional disruption of the A4var gene, one of two var genes located within the subtelomeric region of one end of c...
