| Method |
"[Researchers] apply submicron resolution X-ray fluorescence microprobe (XFM) microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and zinc-specific fluorescent probes in order to interrogate, in a quantitative manner, the role of fluxes in essential metal ion concentrations within a single infected cell." |
| Comments |
"Total zinc levels within uninfected red blood cells (1.1 ± 0.1 fg)
doubled in the infected cell (2.3 ± 0.5 fg), consistent with previously reported values for the same type of mixed-stage infected
cells (Ginsburg et al., 1986)." |
