Dextran sulfate induced suppression of Plasmodium berghei parasitaemia.
Effect of dextran sulfate (DS, Mr 500,000) on parasitaemia in mice (Balb/c) infected with erythrocytic stage of P. berghei was investigated. Intraperitoneal injection of DS caused marked suppression of patent parasitaemia and also enhanced the survival time of the infected animals.
