Surface proteins of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites binding to the erythrocyte receptor, glycophorin
Invasion of erythrocytes by the malarial parasite is a receptor- mediated process. P. falciparum merozoites recognize and bind to erythrocyte surface sialoglycoproteins, glycophorins A and B, and the glycophorins bind to saturable sites on the merozoite surface. The purpose of the present work was t...
