From: Direct contact between Plasmodium falciparum and human B-cells in a novel co-culture increases parasite growth and affects B-cell growth

Fig. 2

Development of parasite concentrations during 10 days of co-culture of FCR3S1.2 Plasmodium falciparum with and without human B-cells. When the parasite concentration exceeded 1–1.5% in at least one well, fresh RBCs were added equally to all wells. The mean results of eight experiments (four for Transwells) are shown, bars indicate SEM. Cultures were incubated in a 5% CO2 gas-flooded 37 °C incubator. Differences were significant at day 10 when Parasites were compared to Parasites + B-cells (p = 0.0006) and to Transwells (p = 0.001)
