The immunofluorescence detection of parasite-specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells infected by Plasmodium falciparum parasites is usually performed by visual detection under a fluorescence microscope. We describe here a technique permitting the analysis of surface immunofluorescence labelling by flow cytometry. Infected red blood cells are selected on the basis of their parasitic DNA and RNA content by Hoechst and Thiazole Orange vital dyes. Cytometric analysis of these labels, as well as general erythrocyte characteristics assessed by analysis of forward and side scatter allows the selection of viable intact infected erythrocytes from other blood cells. The integrity of these selected erythrocytes was confirmed by the absence of labelling with antibodies directed against internal components such as spectrin. This technique permits the detection of specific surface immunofluorescence staining on red blood cells infected with mature stages of P. falciparum by antibodies in sera from hyperimmune Saimiri monkeys. Using Thiazole Orange dye for detection of parasitised cells, this analysis was performed on a FACSscan apparatus equipped with a single laser.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
