Fig. 3
Accumulation of infected erythrocytes in placental tissue. a The bars indicate the percentage of infected erythrocytes in the perfusate at t = 0 (black bar) and the percentage of infected erythrocytes in the intervillous space in sections of perfused tissue (grey bar). b The figure shows the distribution of infected erythrocytes within the perfused tissue, in the intervillous space (black bars) or adjacent to the syncytiotrophoblast (grey bars). The number of infected erythrocytes is expressed relative to 500 uninfected erythrocytes. Shown are results from three individual FCR3-CSA perfusions and three FCR3-It4var19 perfusions. Bars represent mean and standard deviation
