Stars indicate significant differences (Chi2 test). ConA: concanavalin A; PPD: tuberculin purified protein derivative; MSP1: recombinant protein from P. falciparum merozoite surface protein-1; RP5 and W2: erythrocytes infected with the RP5 and W2 P. falciparum lines, respectively.Back to article page
