Additional file 1. ALT and AST determination in mice infected with P. berghei NK65 or P. chabaudi AS. C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally with 104 erythrocytes infected with P. berghei NK65 or P. chabaudi AS. Serum levels of AST (panel A), ALT (panel B) and the AST/ALT ratio (panel C) were determined at day 8 and 10 post infection according to manufacturer’s protocol (Teco Diagnostics, California, USA). n = 3-6 mice for each time point and strain, additional data can be found in [16]. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 versus control
