Name of the mutant parasite
RMgm numberRMgm-4191
Principal namePbΔEXP3
Alternative name
Standardized name
Is the mutant parasite cloned after genetic modificationYes
Phenotype
Asexual blood stageGrowth and multiplication of blood stages in mice comparable to wild type parasites. Normal virulence.
Gametocyte/GameteNot tested
Fertilization and ookineteNot tested
OocystNot tested
SporozoiteNot tested
Liver stageNot tested
Additional remarks phenotype

Mutant/mutation
The mutant lacks expression of EXP3 and expresses mCherry/cmyc under control of the EXP3 promoter

Protein (function)
The EXP3 protein was identified in P. falciparum by a immunoprecipitation (IP) and mass spectrometry approach using PfEMP1. P. falciparum EXP3 was not essential for growth of blood stages in vitro.

Phenotype
Growth and multiplication of blood stages in mice comparable to wild type parasites. Normal virulence (ECM, Experimental Cerebral Malaria)
