Growth of
P falciparum in oxygenated CC cells. Parasite lines were cultured for 4 days (2 cycles) in CC cells under atmospheres of either 5% (▪) or 20% O2 (■). Initial parasitemias were 0.1%. Parasite densities were counted daily. Mean parasitemias (± SD) achieved by this set of 5 parasite lines after 4 days in culture in different O2 atmospheres are compared in the bar graph and are representative of 4 separate experiments.
