Plasmodium falciparum express variant antigens on the surface of infected erythrocytes (IEs). These include proteins of the P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family. PfEMP1 proteins mediate binding of IEs to various human endothelial receptors and induce antibodies response during natural infections. In this chapter, we describe a competition ELISA that is an assay for antibodies neutralizing binding of PfEMP1 proteins to their cognate receptor.
