Difference in Placental cytokine expression levels (RNA) between HIV-1 negative and positive women in relation to Placental <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> status.

The mRNA expression levels are referenced to a term placental tissue (reference calibrator: cal). The amount of target gene in the sample and in the calibrator was normalised to the endogenous reference (18S RNA). The values are indicated as median and inter-quartile range. p*: Mann-Whitney Test; Pl = placental; 1 = significant difference (P<0.05); 2 = trend (0.05
