Var transcript levels at admission and after 4 days of culture. Transcript levels (shown as transcript units) of six CIDRα1 var subtypes in P. falciparum parasites at admission, after 4 days in culture of the cellulose-filtered parasites, and after 4 days in culture of the non-filtered parasites. CIDRα1.all is a summated transcript level for all the CIDRα1-domain primers, as described in [14]. C1.all = CIDRα1.all; C1.1 = CIDRα1.1; C1.8 = CIDRα1.8; C1.4 = CIDRα1.4; C1.5 = CIDRα1.5; C1.6 = CIDRα1.6; C1.7 = CIDRα1.7
