Figure 1From: A novel live-dead staining methodology to study malaria parasite viabilityLiving P. falciparum parasite stages stained with JC-1. Plasmodium falciparum blood stages (rings, trophozoites, schizonts and gametocytes) stained with JC-1. The first panel in each row shows the staining of the parasite’s nucleus with Hoechst dye (350 nm); the second panel shows JC-1 monomer visible at 488 nm (green channel), which colours the parasite’s cytoplasm; the third panel shows the JC-1 aggregate visible at 568 nm (red channel) staining the parasite’s active mitochondrion; while the last panel shows the corresponding bright field image.Back to article page
