Document Summary

Read next ch ghost map (5)--all smell disease. Msp 1 protein found on the surface of merozoites** not rbc. Msp 1 vs pfemp 1 (possible exam question) Code for diff versions for same protein. Takes 2 weeks for adaptive immune system for target specific antigen. Stick on surface of blood vessel to stop circulating to not go to spleen. Wants to burst out before destroyed by spleen. Hides from immune system via hiding in clump of rbcs. Nkc part of immune systems (not specific) Can"t see antigen but can see antibodies already binded to antigen. Can help nkc + macrophages too via phagocytosis. Punctures hole and has cell undergoes apoptosis~ When binds knows to kills target cell. Each plague has its own way of dealing w/ immune system. Ie europeans not being able to colonize africa (protected africa) How far back in time 2 organisms split fr common ancestor. Duffy protein put on surface of rbc.
