abstract |
The invention relates to a method for screening compounds for their ability to increase rigidity of red blood cells (RBCs) infected by a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium and in particular by Plasmodium falciparum. The present inven-tion also relates to a method for filtering RBCs that enables retention, in a filtering unit, of RBCs having an abnormal and in par-ticular a decreased deformability, as a surrogate for spleen filtering function. Said method enables in particular isolating and/or de-tecting Plasmodium- infected RBCs or spherocytes associated with acquired or hereditary spherocytosis from a sample of blood from a patient, or analysing in vitro spleen function of a patient. The invention also relates to the application of said methods, for the selection of compounds which selectively interact with iRBCs or selectively interact with ring-iRBCs and are suitable to in-crease their rigidity or to application of the method for filtering RBCs, for isolating and/or detecting RBCs with abnormal and es-pecially reduced deformability. This new filtration method is also amenable to automation and allows the clearance or concentra-tion of stiff RBCs, with wide experimental and medical applications in inherited or acquired RBC disorders (including malaria). |
