Fig. 4. : oxygen consumption rates, respiratory control and intracellular ATP levels of the pTEX and pTEX-heat shock proteins 70 parasites. A: promastigotes were incubated in respiratory buffer, in the presence of 40 μM digitonin and 5 mM succinate; B: 400 μM ADP (state 3) and 1 μg/mL oligomycin (state 4) used for the determination of the respiratory control ratios; C: ATP levels were determined in 108 cells/mL using the manufacturer’s protocol. Statistical analysis: t-test: *p < 0.05.
