Effects of antibodies on the dynamics fluctuations of nRBC membrane. Modifications in the amplitude of membrane fluctuations of single human RBCs from a healthy donor were examined by DM before and 30 min after the addition of different antibodies: a control, b anti-bacteriophage monoclonal antibody produced in rabbit (non-related IgG), c anti-red blood cell antibody, d IgG purified from sera of healthy individuals, e IgG purified from sera of non-anaemic patients with vivax malaria, and f IgG purified from sera of subjects infected by P. vivax and with anaemia. For each assayed antibody, ten RBCs were evaluated. p values were determined using a paired t test
