Assessing Vascular Permeability during Experimental Cerebral Malaria by a Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibody Technique

Abstract
Vascular endothelial integrity, assessed by Evans blue dye extrusion and radiolabeled monoclonal antibody leakage, was markedly compromised in the brain, lung, kidney, and heart duringPlasmodium bergheiinfection, a well-recognized model for human cerebral malaria. The results for vascular permeability from both methods were significantly (P< 0.001) related.
