The leucine-rich repeat immune protein family in malaria vector mosquitoes
A novel mosquito-specific family of leucine-rich repeat immune proteins (LRIMs) was recently identified in Anopheles gambiae, the major vector of malaria in Africa. The founding family members, LRIM1 and APL1C, form a heterodimer circulating in the mosquito hemolymph and mediate killing of malaria p...
