Mosquito cell line glycoproteins: an unsuitable model system for the Plasmodium ookinete-mosquito midgut interaction?

Simon Wilkins, Peter F Billingsley Parasites & Vectors 2010, 3:22 (25 March 2010)

This paper partially characterised the oligosaccharides on glycoproteins from two anopheline cell lines and investigated whether Plasmodium berghei ookinetes bound to cell line monolayers in a carbohydrate-inhibitable manner..Image: Purple MTT crystals form within Plasmodium berghei ookinetes surrounded by mouse erythrocytes.
