Modifications of the Erythrocyte Membrane Protein Band 3 by the Human Malaria Parasite Plasmodium Falciparum

1988 University of California Riverside (Riverside, California), 8 5/8 x 11 1/4 inches tall black faux leather hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), illustrated with black-and-white diagrams, printed only on the recto side of each leaf, xii, 86 ff. Very slight soiling and rubbing to covers. A couple of pages with small edge tears. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked. OCLC (No. 20445735) locates only one copy at institutions worldwide. ~SP29~ [2.5P] 1988 doctoral dissertation in biology reporting on research suggesting than some of the surface antigens associated with malaria-infected erythrocytes are modified host cell membrane proteins, and that some of these protein antigens could be responsible for mediating attachment of parasitized erythrocytes to the venular endothelium. Contents: Introduction; Expression of Senescent Antigen on Erythrocytes Infected with a Knobby Variant of the Human Malaria Parasite P. falciparum; Identification of a High Molecular Weight Protein Exposed on the Surface of P. falciparum Infected Eythrocytes; Characterization of a Modified Red Cell Membrane Protein Expressed on Erythrocytes Infected with the Human Malaria Parasite P. falciparum; General Conclusions.…
