Time courses of hepatic expression of erythroid genes encoding proteins associated with the membrane and extracellular surface of erythroid cells. RNA was isolated from individual livers prepared from vaccination-protected (V, red) and non-vaccinated mice (N, blue) infected with P. chabaudi blood-stage malaria on days 0, 1, 4, 8, and 11 p.i. Data are plotted in linear scale. Means of 3 microarrays are given ± SD. The number of ‘*’ marks that appear over interval lines between sampling points and over the sampling points are the number of zeros after the decimal point of the p-values for the statistical significance of the difference in instant of the two series and of the difference between two intervals, respectively
