A) Silencing of parasitic EIF-5A by RNAi in 293 T cells and subsequent monitoring by RT-PCR. A cotransfection was performed with: 1) no transfected DNA; 2) recombinant, plasmodial eIF-5A expression plasmid with the 483 bp cDNA; 3) EIF-5A-shRNA construct P#18; 4) aquaporin-5-specific siRNA. B) The 983 bp GAPDH amplificate was used as an internal control in the transfected mammalian cell line.
