Figure 6From: Simple flow cytometric detection of haemozoin containing leukocytes and erythrocytes for research on diagnosis, immunology and drug sensitivity testingHaemozoin containing leukocytes in two different mouse models of malaria. Groups with five C57BL/6 mice where infected with P. berghei ANKA (PbA) or with P. berghei NK65 (PbNK). Blood was drawn on day 3, 5 12 and 18 and analysed after labelling with with anti-CD11b and Gr1. Analyses and gating strategy is described in the text (additional file 1). Percentage of Hz-containing monocytes and granulocytes (top graph) as well as parasitaemia are mean values per group (± one SD). Open bars = Hz-containing granulocytes; grey bars = Hz-containing monocytes. Uninfected controls had no Hz-containing leukocytes and are not shown. Bottom graph shows proportion of different Gr1 expression (high = black, medium = grey; and low = light grey) of Hz-containing monocytes, shown in top figure. Percentages on x-axis represent mean parasitemia. Mice with PbANKA infection were sacrificed on day 5.Back to article page
