TABLE 4.
Enhancement of in vitro growth-inhibitory activity of MAb SP8.18 by noninhibitory MAbs SP5.2, RAP1-7, and RAP1-14a
MAb or MAb combination | Concn (μg/ml) | % Inhibition | 95% CI |
---|---|---|---|
SP8.18 | 500 | 39.3 | 34–44.2 |
SP8.18 + SP5.2 | 500 | 56.7 | 47.7–64.1 |
SP8.18 + RAP1-14 | 500 | 56.3 | 49.5–62.1 |
SP8.18 | 350 | 23.7 | −2.9–43.4 |
SP8.18 + RAP1-7 | 350 | 50.9 | 34–63.5 |
SP8.18 + RAP1-14 | 350 | 49.2 | 31.2–62.5 |
MAb SP8.18 was mixed with a second MAb and added to the parasite culture. Experiments were performed in sextuplicate, and inhibition was calculated as explained in the footnotes of Table 3. CI, confidence interval.
