Figure 1From: Plasmodium falciparum parasites causing cerebral malaria share variant surface antigens, but are they specific?Levels of specific antibody responders to VSA CM , VSA UM and VSA PAM . Antibody response was measured in different plasma groups against heterologous P. falciparum isolates identified by their clinical origin. CM: cerebral malaria, UM: uncomplicated malaria, HA: healthy adults, PG: primigravidae, MG: multigravidae. Groups were compared by χ2 test (** P < .005, * P < .05, ns. non significant).Back to article page
