Adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) to resting human umbilical vein endothelial cells was determined in the presence or absence of 100 μg/mL of various sulfated glycoconjugates. Values are the mean (±SD) IEs bound (mm−2) in triplicate determinations. Exp indicates experiment; and nd, not done.
