GYPA and parasitic infectious disease: To investigate this inhibition more carefully, a time series of imaging was performed where asynchronous parasite cultures at 25% parasitemia were exposed to 5 mM MβCD and stained with Bod-TF (green) as a marker of cholesterol, SiR-HO (red) as a marker of DNA, and anti-glycophorin A (GPA) antibody (violet) as a marker of the RBC membrane.
