Figure 2. B memory cell responders to S. haematobium antigens.

Figure 2

Shown are the percentages of B memory cell responders to S. haematobium antigens, SEA and SWAP, as determined by ELISpot assay during the malaria transmission season and again during the dry season with significant differences demarcated. Results were stratified by age (A–C) and S. haematobium status [S. haematobium positive (SP) = 54 and S. haematobium negative (SN) = 29] Responders are defined to those individuals with antigen specific cell (ASC) ratios (ratio of spot forming cells (SFC)/106 expanded cells vs. total IgG SFC/106 cells) greater than 0.01.
