Results summarize the approximate IC50 values of peptide inhibition on the binding of soluble 125I-PfEMP1 to immobilized CD36, binding of CD36 to immobilized rC1-2 [1-179] and inhibition of PE adhesion. Binding of 125I-PfEMP1 to CD36 was measured with SDS extract of the MC strain. Binding of125I-PfEMP1 to ICAM-1 was measured with SDS extract of the ItG-ICAM strain. Blockade of PE adherence was tested with strain A4ultra.

Abbreviation: ND, not determined.
