Fig. 5From: Osteopontin and malaria: no direct effect on parasite growth, but correlation with P. falciparum-specific B cells and BAFF in a malaria endemic areaP. falciparum invasion inhibition assay performed over two life cycles. Mean parasitemia obtained from two repeated assays (each performed in duplicate) with different concentrations of OPN (ranging from 200 ng/mL to 12 800 ng/mL) added to FCR3S1.2 parasites. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean parasitemias when OPN was added in the different concentrations. PBS and heparin (100 µg/mL) were added as controlsBack to article page
