Antibodies to Variant Antigens on the Surfaces of Infected Erythrocytes Are Associated with Protection from Malaria in Ghanaian Children

Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a variant antigen expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes. Each parasite genome contains about 40 PfEMP1 genes, but only 1 PfEMP1 gene is expressed at a given time. PfEMP1 serves as a parasite-sequestering ligand to endotheli...
