Aubouy-figureSUPPL-MalariaJ-revised version. Supplementary figure. Detailed relative levels of VSA specific IgG to heterologous P. falciparum isolates according to the clinical origin of the P. falciparum isolates, and to the plasma group. Each dot represents a specific plasma/parasite combination. Figures show all combinations tested with CM isolates (A1, A2), UM isolates (B1, B2, B3), and PAM isolates (C1, C2). UM: uncomplicated malaria, CM: cerebral malaria, PAM: pregnancy-associated malaria, PG: primigravidae, MG: multigravidae.
