Western blot analysis and SDS-PAGE of the whole plasma from falciparum malaria patients. (A) Samples from three vivax malaria patient (Pv1-Pv3) and three healthy donor (H1-H3) were used for positive and negative controls. Blot #1 represents 4 falciparum malaria patients (Pf1-Pf4) and blot #2 represents Pf5-Pf8. (B) Expression level of AACT in specimens was measured by comparing the band intensities of each falciparum malaria patient sample with those of healthy donors as negative control and those of vivax malaria patients as positive control: blot #1 represents Pf1-Pf4 and blot #2 represents Pf5-Pf8.
