Book excerpt: The CQR phenotype has traditionally been defined at low nanomolar cytostatic CQ concentrations but these do not correspond to medically relevant cytotoxic doseages. Thus, CQ accumulation was also measured using 3H-CQ and infected red blood cells at external CQ that corresponds to cytotoxic vs cytostatic concentrations. It was discovered that reduced CQ accumulation is not the underlying cause of cytotoxic CQR.
