Figure 8From: Simple flow cytometric detection of haemozoin containing leukocytes and erythrocytes for research on diagnosis, immunology and drug sensitivity testingDegree of depolarization corresponds to different developmental stages of P. berghei ANKA. Blood from a C57BL/6 mouse with a parasitaemia of 9.7% as determined by microscopy. Top plot shows several populations with decreasing degree of depolarization (A, B, C). Gate D shows low or non-depolarizing events. The four histograms show the number of events (n) and their fluorescence intensity (x-axis) of SYBR Green I, representing the DNA content. Gate D contains a population of 7.24% (arrow), likely including ring-forms with little Hz and thus very low or no depolarization.Back to article page
