Induction of FcεRI+ neutrophils and eosinophils during Plasmodium infection. WT C57BL/6N mice were inoculated with 106 PbANKA-iRBC. At indicated time points after inoculation, blood cells (a and b), BM cells (c and d), and brain tissue (e and f) were analyzed for the presence of total neutrophils, eosinophils, and FcεRIα+ leukocytes (a, c, and e), as well as for FcεRIα+ neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and mast cells, as indicated (b, d, and f). Values represent the means ± SD. Significant differences are indicated (ANOVA, followed by an a posteriori Fisher’s PLSD test; ***, P < 0.001; **, P < 0.02; *, P < 0.05). Data are from two independent experiments.
