title: Separation of stages of Plasmodium falciparum-infected cells by means of a fluorescence-activated cell sorter.
abstract: Plasmodium falciparum parasites from long-term in vitro culture have been labeled with the DNA-binding dye Hoechst 33258. After labeling, parasitized cells have been successfully analyzed and sorted, using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter, into populations of uninfected, singly infected, and multiply infected cells.
