Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and cell shrinkage in nRBC during early stage of P. yoelii 17XL infection. Balb/c mice (n = 5-7) were infected with 10⁶ P. yoelii 17XL-pRBC and, than, PS exposure and forward scatter was evaluated in the early stages of infection by flow cytometry. Data show means ± SEM of ex-vivo levels of nRBC exposing PS (A) and of the nRBC forward scatter (B) in infected and non-infected mice. Data are representative of two separate experiments.
