Human intraerythrocytic malarial parasites (Plasmodium falciparum) induce permeability changes in the membrane of their host cells. The differential permeability of infected erythrocytes at various stages of parasite growth, in combination with density gradient centrifugation, was used to fractionat
Duffy antigen is the receptor used by Plasmodium vivax to invade erythrocytes. Consequently, individuals lacking Duffy antigen [Fy(-)] do not develop blood-stage infections. We hypothesized that naturally exposed Fy(-) humans may develop immune responses mainly to pre-erythrocytic stages and could b
