Table 1. Real-Time PCR Analysis.
Parasite burden in cardiac tissue from wild-type and Cav-1 null (KO) infected mice at 17 days post-infection. Wild-type (WT) and Cav-1 null (KO) mice were infected i.p. with 103 trypomastigotes. Data are a comparison of parasite burden in 50 ng of DNA isolated from infected hearts.
Genotype | Tissue | DPI a | Parasites/Cell |
---|---|---|---|
Wild-type | Heart | 17 | 2.84 ± 0.18 |
Cav-1 null | Heart | 17 | 2.78 ± 0.21 |
n ≥ 4 for each experimental group
DPI = days post-infection
