Reporter activity correlates with parasite number. The relationship between chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activity (acetylation) and parasite number was derived mathematically. At least 15 independent samples were tested for CAT activity at seven different parasite concentrations. A linear relationship was found on a semi-log plot and the linear trend line was fitted to the empirical data yielding the equation: percent acetylation = 32.92 × log10(Parasite number) − 104.54. The standard deviation for CAT activity was 12%.
