Figure 1From: Reticulocyte-prone malaria parasites predominantly invade CD71hi immature cells: implications for the development of an in vitro culture for Plasmodium vivaxGating strategy used for the flow cytometry analysis. Blood cells from non-infected mice were labelled with CD71 and TER119 specific antibodies and analysed for GFP transgenic parasites in a BD LSRFortessa Flow Cytometer. (A) The gate was set to exclude debris and include non-nucleated erythroid cells. (B) Numbers in the upper-right insets show percentages of TER119+CD71+ stained reticulocytes. TER119+CD71+ cells were gated into two populations according to differences in CD71 intensity. (C) TER119+ cells from infected mice were analysed according CD71 and GFP (parasite) expression. Data are represented as mean ± SEM of three mice per group.Back to article page
