The Chondroitin Sulfate A-binding Site of the VAR2CSA Protein Involves Multiple N-terminal Domains

Dahlbäck et al: During pregnancy, the interaction between malaria infected erythrocytes and the placental receptor is mediated by the parasite expressed protein VAR2CSA. A vaccine against placental malaria should induce antibodies inhibiting the interaction between VAR2CSA and CSA. In this study, we used a biosensor technology to examine binding properties...
