Abstract excerpt

Defining clone composition in Plasmodium falciparum cultures is key to verify that in vitro experiments are performed on the parasite line of interest. Genotyping of the highly polymorphic merozoite surface protein 2 gene (msp2) is a widely established method to define P. falciparum clones. Speci...
