Isolation and Characterization of Erythrocyte and Parasite Membranes from Rhesus Red Cells Infected with 'P. Knowlesi'.
Abstract
Conditions have been developed to utilize rhesus monkeys for multiple cycles of P. knowlesi infection. For this, splenectomy has proven essential. Conditions have been explored for the disruption of parasitized erythrocytes. It was found that nitrogen decompression is most satisfactory. Conditions have been developed for radioactive surface labeling of parasitized cells. Initial experiments have been conducted to define methods for the separation of schizonts and host cell material.
