Characterization of bioluminescence production by epimastigotes and bloodstream evolutive forms of TvLrDNA-luc strain.
A. Serial dilutions of TvLrDNA-luc epimastigotes (EPI, black squares) or bloodstream forms purified from blood (BSF, gray squares) were measured in vitro for bioluminescent activity expressed in RLU (Relative Light Unit); the results are representative of more than three independent experiments. B. Bioluminescence emission per TvLrDNA-luc BSF without drug pressure selection; the results are expressed in RLU/parasite and correspond to arithmetic means +/− SD of the means; p>0,05.
