title: Spectrophotometric assay of the interaction between malaria erythrocyte lysates with methylene blue and neutral red dyes.
abstract: Changes of oxidative processes induced in mouse erythrocytes by Plasmodium berghei were studied in the presence of methylene blue, neutral red or of both cationic redox dyes. The results are discussed in terms of redox and metachromatic modifications of the dyes which are produced by malarial and normal erythrocyte lysates.
