TABLE 3.
IC50 values of wild type versus Δpfpnp using various immucillins
Parasite lines were incubated with drug in media without hypoxanthine for 48 h and then further incubated with radiolabel for 24 h. For each line, 3-12 independent experiments were carried out. The error is reported as mean ± S.E. To determine the statistical significance between the IC50 values of the wild type and disrupted lines for a particular inhibitor the Bonferroni test was used to calculate the p value for every combination of group pairs.
