A screen for Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite surface protein binding to human hepatocyte surface receptors identifies novel host–pathogen interactions
Background: Sporozoite invasion of hepatocytes is an essential step in the Plasmodium life-cycle and has similarities, at the cellular level, to merozoite invasion of erythrocytes. In the case of the Plasmodium blood-stage, efforts to identify host–pathogen protein–protein interactions have yielded...
