Effect of rhIFN-α on blood parasite load of C57BL/6 mice infected with P yoelii 17X NL clone A or P vinckei petteri.
IFN-α (5 × 104 U per injection) and control mice were injected IP from days 0 to 25. The blood parasite load is expressed as in Figure 1. Symbols represent the mean ± SE of 6(P yoelii) or 5 and 4 (P vinckei) mice. The experiments were repeated twice with similar results. Each d refers to a dead mouse. *P < .05 (Mann-Whitney test). ○ indicates control; ▪, IFN-α.
