Molecular group:
Metabolic markers
Molecule/Cell:
NADPH oxidase
Plasmodium strain:
Plasmodium chabaudi adami 556KA
pRBC infection titer:
10^6
Mouse genetic background (Con):
C57BL/6
Level of backcrossing:
Backcrossed for at least 12 generations

p47phox-/- (no ROI produced by the NADPH oxidase pathway)

no
Lethal infection (EG):
no
Pathology (Con):
N.I.
Pathology (EG):
N.I.
Parasitemia (EG vs Con):
Similar
Additional phenotypes (EG vs Con):
Putative function of ROI was not masked by antibody-mediated immunity as B cell deficient p47phox -/- mice displayed similar parasitemias
