Cell shrinkage in nRBC during P. yoelii 17XL infection. Balb/c mice (n = 5) were infected with 10⁶ P. yoelii 17XL-pRBC and, than, RBC forward scatter was determined in the late stage of infection by flow cytometry. (A) Representative flow cytometry analysis of the nRBC forward scatter in infected and non-infected mice. (B) Means ± SEM of the geometric mean of the nRBC forward scatter in infected and non-infected mice detected ex-vivo and after 24 h culture. Data are representative of tree separate experiments.
