Isolation of viable Plasmodium falciparum merozoites
View through CrossRef
Abstract
P. falciparum merozoites are the parasite form that infected red blood cells during blood-stage infection and replication. This method can be used to isolate P. falciparum merozoites that remain structurally intact and retain their invasive capacity. Merozoites can then be used in erythrocyte invasion assays, invasion inhibition assays, approaches to image merozoite invasion events by microscopy, evaluating immune responses to merozoites, and other applications.
