Schematic diagram of the MC PfEMP1 protein and recombinant protein fragments. Schematic drawing showing the four DBL domains and the three cysteine rich motifs (CRM) of the MCvar-1 PfEMP1 gene with amino acid boundaries. Recombinant proteins (GST or MBP fusion) derived from the MCvar-1 sequence (filled bars) and fragments specific for the MCvar-2 sequence (open bars) are shown.
