  abstract = {{M}alaria remains a major threat, in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica primarily, and the most deadly infections are those with {P}lasmodium falciparum. {P}regnancy-associated malaria is a clinically important complication of infection; it results from a unique interaction between proteoglycans in the placental intervillous space and parasite antigens. {B}oth placental and chondroitin sulphate {A}-selected parasites have high-level transcripts of a unique var gene named var2csa. {H}owever, {VAR}2{CSA} has not been consistently found by proteomic analysis of placental parasites. {C}ontrary to this, we found {VAR}2{CSA} expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes from placenta. {I}mportantly, this was achieved with cross-reactive antibodies against {VAR}2{CSA}.},
