Nucleotide status in erythrocytes of rats infected with Pl. berghei.
Nucleotide concentrations in erythrocytes of rats infected with Plasmodium berghei were measured by ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC. UTP and GTP levels were higher in highly infected red blood cells obtained after density separation. The infected red blood cells possess higher hypoxanthine, adenine, and adenosine levels.
