||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAb G10/4 positive (%) | MAb G10/4 positive, IgA bearing (%) | MAb G10/4 positive (%) | MAb G10/4 positive, IgA bearing (%) | |
| Day 5 p.i. | >95b | <1 | —c | — |
| Day 8 p.i. | 60–70d | >90 | >95e | >95 |
a
In all examinations, the relative amount of MAb G10/4-negative, IgA-bearing parasites was <1%.
b
In vitro-proliferative (viable) parasites were MAb G10/4 positive.
c
No parasites detectable by direct microscopical examination and after in vitro cultivation.
d
In vitro-proliferative (viable) parasites were MAb G10/4 negative.
e
Parasites partially appeared as aggregates and did not proliferate in vitro.
