The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes antigenic variation through allelic exclusion and variant expression of surface proteins encoded by the var gene family. Regulation of var genes is
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> erythrocyte membrane protein-1 specifically suppresses early production of host interferon-gamma (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1 (PfEMP-1) is a variable antigen expressed by P. falciparum, the malarial parasite. PfEMP-1, present on the surface of infected host erythrocytes, m

Red blood cells infected with Plasmodium falciparum (iRBCs) have been shown to modulate maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs), interfering with their ability to activate T cells.
Alterations in local chromatin environment are involved in silencing and activation of subtelomeric var genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), encoded by the var gene family, undergoes antigenic variation and plays an important role in chronic infection and severe malaria. Only a
<em>Plasmodium</em> gene regulation: far more to factor in (Publications)
Gene expression in the malaria parasite has received generous attention over the past several decades, predominantly because of the importance of var gene regulation, which is key to antigenic variati
