Figure Lengend Snippet: Neutralization of merozoites. A Purification of infected erythrocytes using the Percoll separation solution, displaying infected (black arrow) and normal (red arrow) erythrocytes. B Confocal fluorescent images of merozoites (blue), PECm-Allicin@LM (red), and their colocalization (purple). Scale bar = 50 μm. C Representative scatter plots of Hoechst 33342/CFDA-SE for the invasion test of merozoites and normal erythrocytes after drug treatment. D Intrusion rate (the percentage of cells in the Q2 area in each group relative to that in the Q2 area in the Model group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM ( n = 3), * P < 0.05.
