Figure 5. Inhibition assays of P. falciparum sporozoite cell traversal and human hepatocyte invasion.

Figure 5

A. Inhibition of cell-traversal activity of P. falciparum sporozoites pre-incubated by different antisera (dilution 1/100). B. Inhibition of invasion of human hepatocytes by P. falciparum sporozoite in vitro by antisera to PFD0425w (SIAP-1), PF08_0005 (SIAP-2), or PFL0065w (LSAP-1) at two dilutions (1/20 blue or 1/100 red), or for rabbit anti-PfCSP serum (dilution 1/100 red) (2552±275.5 schizonts per control well for experiments using sera at 1/20 dilution, and 826±42 schizonts per well for those using sera at 1/100 dilution). For all experiments, inhibition was expressed as the means of the percentage of inhibition observed in two or more independent experiments, each performed in triplicate wells (+/−S.D.). * P<0.05 when compared to the control without antibodies.
