Blocking of rIECSA and mature IECSA adhesion to Sc1D cells in the presence of specific inhibitors. A culture of rIECSA and mature IECSA parasites (equal parasitemia) was passed over confluent Sc1D cells in microslides at 0.05 Pa. (A) Sc1D cells with bound rIECSA and mature IECSA. (B) Flushing with 2 mL 100 μg/mL anti–RSP-2 mAb B4 in culture medium. (C) Flushing with 2 mL 100 μg/mL CSA dissolved in culture medium. (D) nE, rIECSA, and mature IECSA were desequestrated using both inhibitors. Scale bar measures 10 μm.
