Our latest preprint reveals an amazing evolutionary battle between malaria parasite and human. The parasite evolved RIFINs to bind to inhibitory KIR receptors and suppress immune cell function while humans evolved activating KIR receptors to bind these RIFINs to kill parasites!

Read about a fascinating evolutionary battle between the malaria parasite and the human host in our new pre-print below! Parasites have evolved to bind to inhibitory immune receptor KIR2DL1 while the host has a counter-offensive trick up its sleeve... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
