Click HERE To register for a LIVE presentation from industry expert Ali Salanti (PhD) on Diagnosing, targeting and treating cancer using a recombinant cancer binding malaria protein.  Abstract includes:  Rapid growth and tissue invasion are features shared by cancer and the placenta. For the placenta this is essential to support fetal growth but in cancer it is detrimental. Malaria parasites have evolved a protein called VAR2CSA that binds a distinct carbohydrate modification present on placental cells.  This placental CSA is not found on normal somatic cells, and VAR2CSA is the only reagent that can distinguish normal CSA from placental CSA. We have shown that placental CSA […]
