Protein Microarray Analysis of Antibody Responses to Plasmodium falciparum in Western Kenyan Highland Sites with Differing Transmission Levels
Figure 4
Intensity of antibody binding to immunogenic P. falciparum proteins by study and control sera.
The mean signal intensity value of antibody binding to 107 immunogenic proteins (Y axis) is plotted against sera cohorts stratified by age (0-4, 5-14 and >15 years old), season (wet and dry) and site (hilltop and valley bottom) of sample collection (X axis) in a box-whisker plot. The lower and upper edges of the box indicate the first and the third quartiles, the line in the middle represents the median. The 1.5X interquartile range is indicated by the vertical line outside the boxes. Outlying values are indicated by dots outside boxes.
