Binding of PfEMP1 domains to heparin and heparin fragments.
(A) [3H] Heparin binding to 4 μg of DBL-1 (—•—), CIDR (—♦—), and DBL-4 (—○—) in an in-solution assay was performed with increasing concentrations of [3H] heparin and protein together with bound polysaccharide was recovered by membrane filtration as described in “Materials and methods.” (B) Size defined [3H] heparin fragments were allowed to bind to the proteins under the same conditions as in A: DBL-1 (—•—), CIDR (—♦—), and DBL-4 (—○—).
