IL4 gene polymorphism and previous malaria experiences manipulate anti-Plasmodium falciparum antibody isotype profiles in complicated and uncomplicated malaria

Table 5 Association between IL4-590 genotype and anti-P. falciparum -IgG1, -IgG2, -IgG3 and IgE low or high tiled levels in patients with complicated and uncomplicated malaria.

N = Number of plasma for determining IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgE and genotyping IL4-590, # = Chi-squared test was used to test the difference of IL4-590 CC+CT and TT distribution between the low and high 3 tiles. * = μg/ml, ** = ng/ml, A = number of patients who carry IL4-590 CC genotype, B = number of patients who carry IL4-590 CT genotype, C = number of patients who carry IL4-590 TT genotype, D = Number of patients who had low, middle and high anti-P. falciparum -IgG1, -IgG2, -IgG3 and IgE levels.
