Figure 5From: Trypanocidal activity of salinomycin is due to sodium influx followed by cell swellingEffect of salinomycin on intracellular Na+levels in bloodstream forms of T. brucei . Trypanosomes (5 × 107 cell/ml) were incubated with 4 μM Sodium Green™ tetraacetate in the absence (black line) or presence (red line) of 100 μM salinomycin. After 1 h incubation, trypanosomes were washed with culture medium and analysed by flow cytometry. A representative experiment out of three is shown.Back to article page
