Impaired P. falciparum invasion into Lan-negative erythrocytes is independent of Lan null genotype, and is strain-transcendent. a Comparison of invasion by P. falciparum strain 3D7 into erythrocytes from five unrelated Lan null individuals (#1–5; see Table 1 for details of samples) and seven Lan-positive control individuals (#6–10 and 12–13), which serve as biological replicates. Samples 1–9 were previously cryopreserved and thawed, and samples 10,12, and13 were fresh. bf Invasion by five additional P. falciparum strains (W2mef, D10, HB3, 7G8, and 3D7ΔRh2B, respectively). Invasion was measured by SYBR green I staining and flow cytometry. Values are expressed as mean parasitemia ±SD, n = 2. ****p ≤ 0.0001, ***p = 0.0002, two-tailed t-tests. g Invasion by P. falciparum strain 3D7 or four clinical isolates from malaria patients in Senegal (82.09. Th032.09, Th79.09, and Th026.09) into Lan null or Lan-positive erythrocytes. Invasion was measured by SYBR green I staining and flow cytometry. Values are expressed as mean parasitemia ±SD, n = 2
