Investigating the function of Fc‐specific binding of IgM to P lasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 mediating erythrocyte rosetting
Acquired protection from P lasmodium falciparum malaria takes years to develop, probably reflecting the ability of the parasites to evade immunity. A recent example of this is the binding of the Fc region of IgM to VAR2CSA‐type PfEMP1. This interferes with specific IgG recognition and phagocytosis o...
