Abstract
Plasmodium falciparum trophozoite-infected erythrocytes adhere to the amelanotic melanoma C32 cell line in vitro. Here we demonstrate for the first time that immature gametocyte-infected erythrocytes also adhere to C32 cells, albeit at lower levels than trophozoites. However, anti-CD36 and anti-intercellular adhesion molecule 1 antibodies inhibit asexual and gametocyte adhesion by comparable percentages, suggesting a common dependency for binding to these cellular receptors.Entities:
