Phenotypic characterization of blood MO from group 1 patients with or without ADCI activity.

*SGI% = The parasite specific growth inhibition (i.e. the ADCI effect) was calculated as indicated in the Material and Methods section.The 19 patients from Group 1 were tested with regard to ADCI activity.Ten patients had a positive ADCI activity (with SGI>20%), and 9 patients had a negative ADCI activity. MO phenotypes were tested and compared for various surface marker expressions. Differences in staining were found in the classical and the pro-inflammatory MO subsets as indicated. The statistical analyses were performed by non-parametric 1 way median tests.
