Figure 2

Rosettes of NK92 and FCR3-CSA parasites. NK92 were co-cultured with FCR3-CSA-iRBCs in 1:3 ratio respectively, for 1 h at 37°C/5%CO2. After incubation, a sample of the co-culture was dyed with acridine orange and analysed in a fluorescence microscope. A1 and B1. Rosettes of 1 NK cell with 2-3 iRBCs (normal light). A2 and B2. The same rosettes in fluorescent light. C1, C2, D1, D2. NK92 and FCR3-CD36 as a control for unspecific binding. The binding is specific for infected erythrocytes. Few uninfected RBCs were found to bind the NK cells.
