Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental selection of var gene expression in Plasmodium falciparum
Qijun Chen,Qijun Chen,Victor Fernandez,Annika Sundström,Martha Schlichtherle,Santanu Datta,Per Hagblom,Mats Wahlgren +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that multiple, distinct var gene transcripts can be detected by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction in bulk cultures of the rosetting parasite FCR3S1.2, despite the adhesive homogeneity of the cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 1 (PfEMP1) as the Rosetting Ligand of the Malaria Parasite P. falciparum
Qijun Chen,Antonio Barragan,Victor Fernandez,Annika Sundström,Martha Schlichtherle,Anders Sahlén,Johan E. Carlson,Santanu Datta,Mats Wahlgren +8 more
TL;DR: The identification by single-cell reverse transcriptase PCR and cDNA cloning of the adhesive ligand P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is reported on, suggesting PfEMP1 is suggested to be the rosetting ligand and heparan sulfate, or a heparin-Sepharose–like molecule, the receptor both for Pf EMP1 binding and naturally formed ery throatcyte rosettes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Aspects of Severe Malaria
TL;DR: This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms of severe malaria caused by the P. falciparum parasite and the deleterious effects of parasite-derived toxins and host-induced cytokines.
