Plasmodium falciparum variability and immune evasion proceed from antigenicity of consensus sequences from DBL6ε; generalization to all DBL from VAR2CSA.
We studied all consensus sequences within the four least 'variable blocks' (VB) present in the DBL6ε domain of VAR2CSA, the protein involved in the adhesion of infected red blood cells by Plasmodium falciparum that causes the Pregnancy-Associated Malaria (PAM). Characterising consensus seq...
