The var3 genes of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain are differentially expressed in infected erythrocytes

The var3 genes of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain are differentially expressed in infected erythrocytes

Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is an important virulence factor encoded by a family of 59 var genes, including 56 var genes plus 3 small var3 genes. The var genes are among the most diverse sequences in the P. falciparum genome, but the var3 genes are found conserved i...
