Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 (American Type Culture Collection, ATCC PRA-405D) and P. falciparum FCR3 (American Type Culture Collection, ATCC® 30932) were purchased from the ATCC (Manassas, USA). The chloroquine-susceptible strain Plasmodium berghei NK65 (MRA-268) and the atovaquone-resistant strain P. berghei NAT (MRA-415) were purchased from Bei Resources (Manassas, USA). The P. falciparum strains 3D7 and FCR3 were grown in human erythrocytes as previously described [27 (link)]. Briefly, parasites were maintained in continuous culture with 5% haematocrit of type O human red blood cells suspended in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium supplemented with 24 mM NaHCO3, 25 mM HEPES, 0.8% hypoxanthine, 0.9% Albumax, and 25 μg/mL of gentamicin. The 6-well plates were placed in an incubator (atmosphere: 5% CO2, 5% O2, and 90% N2) at 37 °C and the medium was changed daily when the level of parasitaemia was at least 5%. The parasite density was determined by Giemsa staining of thin smears and expressed as a percentage of infected erythrocytes in a field of a total of 500 erythrocytes.
Atcc pra 405d
The ATCC PRA-405D is a laboratory equipment product designed for culturing cells. It provides a controlled environment for the growth and maintenance of cell lines. The product's core function is to facilitate the cultivation of cells under specific temperature, humidity, and gas composition settings.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
