Fig. 4From: Multiplex, DNase-free one-step reverse transcription PCR for Plasmodium 18S rRNA and spliced gametocyte-specific mRNAsStability of the PF3D7_0630000 mRNA compared to that of pfs25 and 18S rRNA. Samples were tested across a range of parasite densities (3 × 102–3 × 105 parasites/mL) and the mean change in estimated gametocyte concentration was assessed after variable storage times. Error bars show 95% CI; n = 8 samples for Days 0 and 3 and n = 3 samples for day 7Back to article page
