Effects of sodium aurothiomalate on intraerythrocytic amplification and in vitro parasitemia. A. In vitro parasitemia with P. falciparum (left panel) in human erythrocytes as a function of the aurothiomalate concentration (arithmetic means ± SEM, n = 16). *, *** indicate significant difference (p < 0.05, p < 0.001) from the absence of aurothiomalate. Intraerythrocytic DNA amplification (right panel) as a function of the aurothiomalate concentration (arithmetic means ± SEM, n = 12). B. Intraerythrocytic DNA amplification (right panel) as in B for different time periods (arithmetic means ± SEM, n = 8).
