Structural basis of LAIR1 targeting by polymorphic Plasmodium RIFINs

Structural basis of LAIR1 targeting by polymorphic Plasmodium RIFINs

RIFINs are Plasmodium surface antigens that suppress the immune response by binding inhibitory receptors such as LAIR1. Here, Xu et al. characterize the interaction between RIFIN-variable 2 domain and a LAIR1 domain and identify LAIR1-binding RIFINs in several Plasmodium species.
