αD mRNA expression is increased in the lungs of mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. Infected wild type were sacrificed 7 or 10 days later. Lungs were removed, processed and reverse transcribed. Transcripts for α D were quantified by real-time quantitative PCR and normalized to the levels of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HRPT). Expression of α D in spleen was used as a positive control. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM of determinations in tissue from 5 animals. *P ≤ 0.04, **P ≤ 0.001 by student’s t test
