Effects of azathioprine on phosphatidylserine exposure of infected and noninfected erythrocytes. Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 12) of annexin V-binding of infected (closed bars) and noninfected (open bars) erythrocytes following infection of human erythrocytes with P. falciparum at 0 μM (left bars) and 1 μM azathioprine. For comparison, the percentage of annexin V-binding erythrocytes prior to infection is shown (grey bar). ### indicates significant difference (p ≤ 0.001; paired ANOVA) from noninfected erythrocytes, ** indicates significant difference (p ≤ 0.01; paired ANOVA) from absence of azathioprine.
