Figure 1

Southern blot showing that E5 possesses an essentially complete repertoire of var genes. Genomic DNA from E5 and 3D7 was digested with different restriction enzymes, blotted and hybridized with a conserved var exon 2 probe to detect DNA fragments harboring var genes. The source of the genomic DNA and the restriction enzyme used in each digestion are shown at the top of each lane. The complex banding pattern indicates that the number of var genes is similar between E5 and 3D7. Unique bands are marked with arrows.
