Using external 250 nM NBD-CQ, influx kinetics were measured in the presence (2nd column), vs absence of glucose (3rd column) and with a constant external concentration of 1 µM Verapamil (4th column) for several parasite lines; CQS parasites HB3 and C2GCO3, and CQR parasites Dd2 and C4Dd2. Similar patterns were also measured at 100 and 500 nM NBD-CQ in the perfusate (data not shown).
