Isolation of stages of the human parasite Plasmodium falciparum from culture and from animal blood.

摘要: Abstract Procedures for isolation of various forms the asexual erythrocytic stages human parasite Plasmodium falciparum are outlined. The procedures employ plasma expander Physiogel, which is composed a chemically modified, partially hydrolysed gelatin dissolved in Ringer's lactate. Based on observation that parasitized cells easily separable by this technique differ appreciably at ultrastructural level, mechanism separation occurs proposed.
