Effect of P. vivax on cell growth . (a) Lysates of infected erythrocytes (IE) or uninfected erythrocytes (UE) and (b) lysed IEs or UEs and intact IEs or UEs were added in varying ratios of IE numbers to one growing erythroid cells (gEC) on day 5. Erythroid growth was evaluated on day 8. The mean of erythroid growth (shown in bar graphs) was compared with a control containing medium without IE or UE lysate. 25 ng/ml of TNF-a was used as a positive control. The error bars show the S.D. of 5 independent experiments, P-value < 0.01 compared with medium control.
