The role of PfEMP1 as targets of naturally acquired immunity to childhood malaria: prospects for a vaccine
The Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 antigens that are inserted onto the surface of P. falciparum infected erythrocytes play a key role both in the pathology of severe malaria and as targets of naturally acquired immunity. They might be considered unlikely vaccine targets because...
