Genetic manipulation of cell line derived reticulocytes enables dissection of host malaria invasion requirements

Here, the authors show that reticulocytes derived from immortalized erythroblasts support invasion and development of Plasmodium falciparum and use CRISPR-mediated gene knockout and complementation of an invasion receptor to demonstrate utility of this model system for research in malaria invasion.
