Synthetic GPI array to study antitoxic malaria response (Publications)
Parasite glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is an important toxin in malaria disease, and people living in malaria-endemic regions often produce high levels of anti-GPI antibodies. The natural anti-GPI [...] on a synthetic GPI glycan array to correlate anti-GPI antibody levels and protection from severe malaria
Differential var gene expression in children with malaria and antidromic effects on host gene expression (Publications)
Among 62 children with mild malaria, cerebral malaria, or severe malarial anemia, we analyzed the transcription of different var gene types. There was no difference in parasitemia level or body temperature [...] expression pattern was observed in children with cerebral malaria, compared with that in patients in the other 2 groups: children with cerebral malaria had lower expression of the upsA subtype but higher expression
