Figure 3From: Identification of glycosaminoglycan binding regions in the Plasmodium falciparum encoded placental sequestration ligand, VAR2CSAA DBL2 peptide binds to CSA and not to CSC. (A) Peptide binding assay to CSA: P2b (red) binds to CSA (■) in a peptide concentration-specific manner and not to the plate (▲). The control peptide (blue) does not bind to neither the plate (×) nor CSA (◆). (B) Peptide binding assay to CSC: P2b (red) does not bind to either CSC (■) or to the plate (▲). The control peptide (blue) does not bind to neither the plate (×) nor CSC (◆).Back to article page
