Effects of azathioprine on forward scatter of infected and noninfected erythrocytes. A. Normalized forward scatter (n = 12) of the early stage-infected erythrocytes (closed symbols) and noninfected (open symbols) erythrocytes as a function of the azathioprine concentration. * indicates significant difference (p ≤ 0.05; ANOVA) from absence of azathioprine, #, ## indicate significant difference (p ≤ 0.05, p ≤ 0.01; ANOVA) from noninfected erythrocytes. Noninfected erythrocytes and erythrocytes infected with early and late parasite stages were defined by background, intermediate and high staining of the cells with the DNA/RNA-specific fluorescence dye Syto16. B. Normalized forward scatter (n = 12) of late stage-infected erythrocytes (closed symbols) and noninfected (open symbols) erythrocytes as a function of the azathioprine concentration. * indicates significant difference (p ≤ 0.05; ANOVA) from absence of azathioprine.
