The genes chosen are all placed at various distances from the telomeres and are all exported to compartments unique to an IE - either the knob structure (PFEMP2, PFEMP3, KAHRP) or the Maurer's cleft (SBP-1) [29].

During the erythrocytic stage of its lifecycle, P. falciparum exports a plethora of proteins to the surface of the IE, many of these are involved in the modification of the IE cytoskeleton and membrane to create the characteristic knob structure on the IE surface [6].
