Flow Cytometry-Based Analysis of Artemisinin-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum in the Ring-Stage Survival Assay
28 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
The ring-stage survival assay (RSA) is a powerful tool for phenotyping artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum but requires experienced microscopists to count viable parasites among 10,000 erythrocytes in Giemsa-stained thin blood smears. Here we describe a rapid flow cytometric assay that accurately counts viable parasites among 250,000 erythrocytes in suspension. This method performs as well as light...
