PvRII binding to heparitinase treated DARC+ erythrocytes. DARC+ human erythrocytes were digested with heparitinase I, an endoglycosidase specific for heparan sulfate. The number of rosettes of heparitinase-treated erythrocytes on COS-7 cells transfected with the pvRII expression vector, pHVDR22, is shown as the mean of three separate treatments.
