Figure 4From: Cloning, expression, and immunocharacterization of surface protein containing an altered thrombospondin repeat domain (SPATR) from Plasmodium knowlesiDetection of recombinant pk HSPATR with patient sera infected by Plasmodium knowlesi and other parasite species. Each western blot strip which contained the purified recombinant pk HSPATR was tested with serum from each category. Selected samples from each category are shown. Lane M, Bio-Rad Prestained Broad Range Protein Marker; lanes 1 to 7, sera of patients infected with P. knowlesi; lane 8-10, serum of patient infected with P. falciparum; lane 11-13, serum of patient infected with P. vivax; lanes 14-18, sera of patients infected with non-malarial parasites (14- filariasis, 15- amoebiasis, 16- toxoplasmosis, 17- cysticercosis, 18- others), lane 19, healthy donor serum which served as negative control.Back to article page
