Analysis of adhesive domains from the A4VAR Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1 identifies a CD36 binding domain.
The A4VAR is a variant antigen expressed by a clonal line that binds CD36 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1, ICAM-1. We have cloned and sequenced the extracellular domain coded by the A4var gene. To probe the relationship between A4var expression and parasite adhesion to ICAM-1, var mRNA and pro...
