Comediation of Erythrocyte Haemolysis by Erythrocyte-Derived Microparticles and Complement during Malaria Infection

Figure 1

In vitro measurement of % haemolysis against EMP concentrations. From the figure, increasing EMP concentration results in increased haemolysis. This shows the extent to which variation in EMP concentration affected haemolysis when a fixed concentration of complement is used. Addition of anti-C9 however reduced percentage haemolysis drastically as shown, while using distilled water and saline (as controls), respectively, showed the highest and lowest levels of haemolysis.
