    Only polymorphic positions are included; blue cells indicate identity with the TIGR reference. The figure is divided vertically into thirds: the region upstream of , itself, and the region downstream of . Numerals in the first row indicate the position of the polymorphic nucleotide relative to ('-' refers to positions upstream of , '+' refers to positions downstream of ). For the upstream indel region, a: deletion of bases [-710, -677], b: deletion of bases [-729, -679], c: deletion of bases [-710, -694], d: insertion of 17 bases after nucleotide -675 (act ggg ggg aaa tgc tc), e: deletion of bases [-746, -696]. Within dhfr, the 4 letters within a single column refer to the amino acids at positions 57, 58, 61 and 117. For the indel within the coding region, 1: deletion of codons 98–103, 2: deletion of codons 93–98, 3: insertion of 18 nucleotides between wildtype codons 98 and 99 (agc ggt ggt gac aac aca), 4: insertion of 18 bp between codons 99 and 100 (tgg tga caa cac aag cgg). Within , the numerals 69, 93 and 199 refer to synonymous or non-synonymous changes at those codons. If the nucleotide mutation yielding 58R is not indicated, the change is 174G. The Thai 57L/58R/61M/117T alleles carry A at nucleotide 171, while the Thai 57I/58R/61M/117T alleles carry A at nucleotide 171 and A at nucleotide 169. Countries are abbreviated as follows: Colombia (Col), Indonesia (Indo), Nicaragua (Nic), Panama (Pan), Papua New Guinea (PNG), Sri Lanka (SL), Thailand (Thai), Vanuatu (Van), Vietnam (Viet).<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Multiple origins of resistance-conferring mutations in "</p><p>http://www.malariajournal.com/content/7/1/72</p><p>Malaria Journal 2008;7():72-72.</p><p>Published online 28 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2383903.</p><p></p

    <p>IgM and IgG subclass among Fy+ donors that had total IgG against PvMSP1 and PvDBP was measured by ELISA to determine the frequencies (A) and magnitude (B) of responses against PvMSP1 and PvDBP. IgM and IgG subclass against PvMSP1 and PvDBP were also compared among donors with different Duffy genotypes (C). Samples are considered positive when the OD reading is > average OD of naĂŻve controls + 3SD for frequency of responses or index of reactivity (IR) is greater than 1 for the magnitude of responses, respectively.</p

    Broad antibody responses against malaria were induced by natural exposures in Colombia.

    <p>We assessed malaria antigen-specific antibody responses in 233 donors living in Caribbean coast town (Apartado and Turbo) of Colombia. One hundred thirty nine (60%) donors had antibodies against at least one of five malaria antigens examined. Numbers represent the responders who had antibodies against both <i>P. vivax</i> and/or <i>P. falciparum</i> antigens (A), different <i>P. vivax</i> antigens, PvCSP, PvMSP1, PvDBP (B), or different <i>P. falciparum</i> antigens PfCSP and PfMSP1 (C).</p

    The levels of antibody responses against <i>P. vivax</i> erythrocytic antigens differ among different Duffy genotypes.

    <p>Immune recognition of <i>P. vivax</i> sporozoite antigen (A: PvCSP) and blood stage antigens (B: PvMSP1, C: PvDBP), or <i>P. falciparum</i> sporozoite antigen (D: PfCSP) and blood stage antigen (E: PfMSP1) by sera of donors with different Duffy genotypes FY*A/FY*B (A/B), FY*A/FY*Bnull (A/Bnull), FY*B/FY*B (B/B) and FY*B/FY*Bnull (B/Bnull). Values are expressed as Index of Reactivity (IR) that is calculated as test OD divided by cut-off OD. The cut-off OD is the average OD value of US donors (with no prior exposure to malaria)+3 SD. The IR of donors with FY*A/FY*B genotype is compared with those of FY*A/FY*Bnull, and FY*B/FY*B with FY*B/FY*Bnull using Student's <i>t</i>-test and <i>p</i> values<0.05 were considered significant.</p

    <p>Antigen-specific total IgG in sera of the donors living in malaria-endemic regions of Colombia (Apartado and Turbo) were assessed by ELISA against <i>P. vivax</i> circumsporozite protein (PvCSP), blood stage antigens (PvMSP1, <i>Pv</i>DBP), <i>P. falciparum</i> circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) and blood stage antigen (PfMSP1). A sample is considered positive if the index of reactivity (IR) is greater or equal to 1. IR is calculated as the average OD of sample divided by the cut-off OD with the cut of OD being the sum of average OD values of US donors (with no prior exposure to malaria) + 3 standard deviations. Listed are the mean and SD of the IR, the number and percentage of positive samples (#Pos (%)), <i>P value</i>s were caulcated by Chi-squared test.</p

    Antibody responses against <i>P. vivax</i> erythrocytic antigens are significantly greater in Fy+ than in Fy− individuals.
