var2csa microarray elements. Schematic of consensus 70-mer nucleotide microarray elements showing DBL domain assignments. Elements were designed by aligning var2csa sequences from different laboratory strains of P. falciparum. 3D7, Ghana-1, and Ghana-2 indicate percent sequence identity of array elements with 3D7 and two recently sequenced var2csa homologs obtained from a clinical sample (Ghanaian P. falciparum genome sequence; Sanger Center). Operon element M59463_1 (made against MAL13P1.353, no longer annotated) maps to bp −653 relative to the PFL0030c translation start site. The element at position 4038 was designed from a DNA sequence amplified from placental isolate pl 28b, using degenerate DBLγ domain primers (19). Element positions are relative to the 3D7 gene PFL0030c. UTR, untranslated region.
