From: Addition of histamine to subcutaneously injected Plasmodium berghei sporozoites increases the parasite liver load and could facilitate whole-parasite vaccination

Figure 4

Relative 18S rRNA liver load following subcutaneous infection in relation to intravenously infected control animals. Animals were infected sc by a single injection of 104 SPZ. SPZ were administered either without supplementation (sc, n = 7) or supplemented with 3 μg histamine and 5 IU heparin (3 μg sc; n = 7) or 100 μg histamine and 5 IU heparin (100 μg sc, n = 5). The liver load was obtained at 48 hrs after infection and is expressed in relation to the median 18S rRNA liver load of four iv-infected control mice.
