RESUMEN
Cytoadherence to CD36 and ICAM-1 and var gene expression of P. falciparum parasites from a splenectomized patient were studied. These parasites lacked cytoadherence and showed expression of a non-coding cDNA sequence. Hence the spleen's modulation of parasite cytoadherence by mechanisms that affect the parasite's surface antigen expression is suggested.
