Synchronized, asexual blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 parasites that have undergone two and three rounds of positive (3D7-MGD21+2 and 3D7-MGD21+3), and negative (3D7-MGD21-2 and 3D7-MGD21-3) selection on MGD21, a broadly reactive human monoclonal antibody with a LAIR1 insertion that is specific for RIFIN antigens, were used to infect red blood cells. Parasite RNA samples were collected at seven different time points post-infection (post-sorbitol synchronization at early ring stage) (0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 hours), encompassing the entire intraerythrocytic developmental cycle from ring to mature schizonts. Using RNA sequencing, we aim to determine (a) the full subset of RIFINs that are recognized by the LAIR1-containing monoclonal antibody, and (b) whether there are any significant global transcriptional differences between parasites that have been enriched or depleted of reactivity to the LAIR1-containing antibody.\r\nThis data is part of pre-publication release.
