Use of a highly specific kinase inhibitor for rapid, simple and precise synchronization ofPlasmodium falciparumandPlasmodium knowlesiasexual stage parasites
Abstract:During the course of the asexual erythrocytic stage of development, Plasmodium spp. parasites undergo a series of morphological changes and induce alterations in the host cell. At the end of this stage, the parasites exit the host cell, after which the progeny invade a new host cell. These processes are rapid and occur in a time-dependent manner. Of particular importance, egress and invasion of erythrocytes by the parasite are difficult to capture in an unsynchronized culture, or even a culture that has been s… Show more
