摘要: Previous reports have described obtaining mature Plasmodium vivax ookinetes in vitro using blood from infected patients a simplified, field-based protocol. Here, we report protocols that produce improved P. ooki- nete yields and morphological development. Optimal conditions included induction of gametogenesis 10 mM Tris, 170 NaCl, glucose, 25 NaHCO 3 , 100 μM xanthurenic acid for 90 minutes at pH 8.0-8.2, followed by culture RPMI-1640, 50 mg/mL hypoxanthine, HEPES, 29 2 L-glutamine, 20% fetal bovine serum 8.4 36 hours. Ookinetes were produced 86% (18/21) optimized cultures; ranged 6.5 × 4 to 2.8 6 ; percent gametocyte conversion 1.4% 4.7%. This method is suitable preparation quantities sufficient biochemical, molecular, cell biological analysis where basic laboratory facilities are proximity with malaria.
