Serum total IgM and IgG levels in mice infected with P. chabaudi and treated with SART. The four indicated groups were set up: CTR (vehicle-treated animals), SART (mice treated with a daily oral dose of SART), Pc (animals injected with P. chabaudi-infected red blood cells), and Pc + SART (P. chabaudi-infected SART-treated mice). Groups of 8 animals were used and two independent experiments were performed. Serum was obtained at the indicated periods after infection and total IgM (top panels) and IgG (bottom panels) were determined by ELISA. Data indicate mean immunoglobulin levels ± SD. when compared to the Pc group.
