The Py235 proteins: glimpses into the versatility of a malaria multigene family

Microbes and Infection
Anne Charlotte GrünerPeter R Preiser

Abstract

Py235 rhoptry proteins, encoded by a multigene family of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii, combine a functional role in invasion with one of immune evasion, and have homologues in malaria parasites of humans. Investigations of Py235 are summarised and the perspectives for dissecting the molecular and biological mechanisms underlying these crucial phenomena are discussed.

Antigenic Modulation

Antigenic modulation occurs when an antibody cross-links antigens on a cell surface, causing the antigens to become internalized. This can lead to therapeutic failure of monoclonal antibodies as the expression of the antigen becomes decreased on target cells. Find the latest research on antigenic modulation here.
