Fig. 2.
Reactivity of sera from Senegalese donors with crude malaria antigen and EB200. Sera from 100 donors were analysed at a dilution of 1 : 1000 for reactivity with crude malaria antigen extract as well as with EB200 (GST-EB200 reactivity minus GST reactivity) in ELISA. The individual donors (4–87 years) are displayed according to age and the different age groups are indicated below the bars. White bars display reactivity with EB200 with absorbance values indicated on the right y-axis. Reactivity with crude malaria antigens is shown as black bars with the absorbance values displayed on the left x-axis. The level of background reactivity of Swedish control sera was 0·150 ± 0·031 (crude malaria antigen), 0·094 ± 0·024 (GST-EB200) and 0·088 ± 0·024 (GST). In cases where the white bars mask the black bars, the height of the black bar is indicated by a horizontal line. □, Recombinant EB200; ▪, crude malaria antigen.
