Epitope mapping and topographic analysis of VAR2CSA DBL3X involved in P. falciparum placental sequestration.
Pregnancy-associated malaria is a major health problem, which mainly affects primigravidae living in malaria endemic areas. The syndrome is precipitated by accumulation of infected erythrocytes in placental tissue through an interaction between chondroitin sulphate A on syncytiotrophoblasts and a pa...
