TGF-β1 transcripts quantification in malaria patients and asymptomatic controls TGF-β1 transcripts were quantified without stimulation and after 22 hours of LPS stimulation of PBMC harvested from asymptomatic controls (n = 5) and from patients suffering from acute malaria (n = 20). Results are normalised for one million copies of β2-microglobulin. Whiskers indicate data range, boxes extend from the 25^th to the 75^th percentile and the horizontal lines show the median. Asterisk indicates significant higher value in malaria patients compared to asymptomatic controls (p = 0.036) in the capacity of response to LPS.
