Plasmodium falciparum express variant antigens on the surface of infected erythrocytes (IEs). These include proteins of the P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family. PfEMP1 proteins mediate binding of IEs to various human endothelial receptors and induce antibodies response during natural infections. In this chapter, we describe a competition ELISA that is an assay for antibodies neutralizing binding of PfEMP1 proteins to their cognate receptor.
恶性疟原虫在感染的红细胞(IEs)表面表达变异抗原。这些抗原包括恶性疟原虫红细胞膜蛋白 1(PfEMP1)家族的蛋白质。PfEMP1 蛋白介导 IEs 与各种人类内皮受体的结合,并在自然感染过程中诱导抗体反应。在本章中,我们描述了一种竞争 ELISA,这是一种用于检测中和 PfEMP1 蛋白与其同源受体结合的抗体的检测方法。
