Acquisition of naturally occurring antibody responses to recombinant protein domains of Plasmodium falciparumerythrocyte membrane protein 1 (2008)

Mackintosh, Claire L, Christodoulou, Zoe, Mwangi, Tabitha W, Kortok, Moses, Pinches, Robert, Williams, Thomas N, ...

Abstract Background Antibodies targeting variant antigens expressed on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes have been associated with protection from clinical malaria. The...

Patterns of gene recombination shape vargene repertoires in Plasmodium falciparum:comparisons of geographically diverse isolates (2007)

Kraemer, Susan M, Kyes, Sue A, Aggarwal, Gautam, Springer, Amy L, Nelson, Siri O, Christodoulou, Zoe, ...

Abstract Background Var genes encode a family of virulence factors known as PfEMP1 ( Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1) which are responsible for both antigenic variation and...

Genome-wide discovery and verification of novel structured RNAs in Plasmodium falciparum

Mourier, Tobias, Carret, Celine, Kyes, Sue, Christodoulou, Zoe, Gardner, Paul P., Jeffares, Daniel C., ...

We undertook a genome-wide search for novel noncoding RNAs (ncRNA) in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We used the RNAz program to predict structures in the noncoding regions of the P....
