From: NCF1 gene and pseudogene pattern: association with parasitic infection and autoimmunity
Maximum basal (left) and PMA-stimulated (right) ROI production in whole blood preparations of children suffering from severe malaria. Individuals with a ΔGT/GTGT ratio of 2:1 have two type I ΨNCF1 genes per NCF1 gene while individuals with a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 have presumably one or more type II ΨNCF1 genes per NCF1 gene. Shown are log-transformed maximum ROI levels measured during a 30-minute period, triangles represent individual data points, horizontal lines indicate means. For statistical analysis see text.
