Figure 3

Cytokine expression by real-time PCR in Saimiri sciureus splenocytes. Animals were splenectomized at d7 (two monkeys, rising parasitaemia) and d28 (two monkeys, 15 days after start of chloroquine therapy) post-inoculation with 5×107 P. falciparum pRBC. Splenocytes were stimulated in vitro with P. falciparum pRBC or culture medium. Fold increases in cytokine expression were calculated in relation to unstimulated splenocytes from two uninfected control Saimiri monkeys. *: p <0.05; **: p <0.01; ***: p <0.001 (two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post test).
