Figure 4From: Changes in var gene mRNA levels during erythrocytic development in two phenotypically distinct Plasmodium falciparum parasitesBoth dominant and subdominant var genes seem to be correctly spliced throughout the whole intra-erythrocytic life cycle. Transcript abundance measured by cross-intron primers and exon I primers for the dominant and two subdominant var genes are shown as ΔCt values for (A) NF54 and (B) NF54VAR2CSA.Back to article page
