However, our previous study conducted with plasma samples from community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients showed a comparable surface proteome compared to malaria patients for some markers (CD16, CD106, TNF-R-II, Osteopontin, HLA-A/B/C, ITGAL, HLA-DR/DP/DQ, and HBEGF), while others were unique for malaria (CD81, CD9, HLA-DR, Selectin E, Hsp90, LAMP2, EGFR, and CD142) [48]. This evidence concerns the gene EGFR and malaria.
