Fig. 2

Accumulation of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes in ex vivo perfused placental tissue. The figure shows the proportion of infected erythrocytes in the perfusate as a function of time. Results from twelve individual perfusion experiments are shown [FCR3-CSA (n = 3), FCR3-It4var19 (n = 3), NF54-CSA (n = 3) and DC-J (n = 3)]. The number of infected erythrocytes in the maternal perfusate is expressed as relative % of t = 0. a FCR3 parasites expressing VAR2CSA disappear from the circulation while FCR3-It4var19 remain in the maternal circulation. b NF54 parasites expressing VAR2CSA disappear from the circulation while NF54 parasites that have been silenced for PfEMP1 expression remain in the circulation
