Summary

Description
English: Figure 1 Infected erythrocyte sequestration within the intervillous space of the placenta. (A) Schematic representation of infected erythrocytes (IE) adhering to the syncytiotrophoblastic lining of the fetal villus, with increased presence of macrophages and monocytes in the maternal blood. Parasite pigments (hemozoin) remain visible in macrophages following IEs phagocytosis. The natural transfer of gases and nutrients between maternal blood in the intervillous space and fetal blood circulating in the villi is impaired by IEs sequestration. E, Erythrocyte; ST, syncytiotrophoblast. (B) Architecture of the VAR2CSA protein and chemical structure of chondroitin-4-sulfate A. The circled region within VAR2CSA (ID1-ID2a) represents the CSA-binding region.
