FIG 5.
BmGPI12 detection, 18S rDNA expression, and parasitemia in Swiss-Webster (SW) mice inoculated with 106 B. microti-infected RBCs. (A) BmGPI12 detection in plasma from Swiss Webster mice. PB, prebleed (blood collection prior to B. microti infection); DPI, days postinfection. Each point represents an average of 5 mice. The dotted line represents the lower LOD. (B) CT values obtained with real-time PCR using DNA isolated from Swiss Webster plasma. The dotted line represents the CT cutoff value. (C) Parasitemia curves for Swiss Webster mice. Each point represents parasitemia for each male or female Swiss Webster mouse.
