Abstract:In malarial infection, erythrocytes infected wih Plasmodium falciparum bind to endothelial vascular (endothelial cytoadherence). This binding is implicated in the forming of sequestre and rosette that affects the vascular circulation, and thus injures the capillary wall. This mechanism is important in pathogenesis of malarial due to dysfunction of several organs. There are several receptors of cytoadherence in human e.g Thrombospondine (TSP), CD-36, ICAM-1, and ELAM-1 as well as specific ligands of the parasit… Show more
