Characteristics of immune sera from monkeys used for the inhibition of the hDARC/PvDBPII interaction.

aBL10 was the only symptomatic animal [24]bPeripheral blood infection was detected using conventional microscopy, and P. vivax/P. simium identification was confirmed using amplification of the P. vivax 18SSU rRNA gene with two different PCR-based protocols (Nested and Real-time) [24]cAnti-PvDBPII IgG antibodies were detected by ELISA using recombinant PvDBP (aa 132–771)[24], and the results are expressed as Reactivity Index (RI), which corresponds to OD492nm values of test samples divided by the cut-off value.Values of RI > 1 were considered positive.Characteristics of immune sera from monkeys used for the inhibition of the hDARC/PvDBPII interaction.
