a Representative FACS image of innate immune cells (upper panel, red square), including macrophages, monocytes, NK/NKT cells, DCs and neutrophils, and adaptive immune cells (lower panel, blue square), such as CD4+ T, CD8+ T and B cells, in peripheral blood at 4 days post P. yoelii or P. berghei infection. b–i Statistically analysis of the percentage of neutrophils (b), monocytes (c), macrophages (d), DC cells (e), NK/NKT cells (f), CD4+ T cells (g), CD8+ T cells (h), and B cells (i) in peripheral blood of mice (n = 9) 4 days post P. yoelii or P. berghei infection. Three independent experiments were performed for each experiment, and the data were pooled. The data were represented as the mean ± SD. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Significance was determined by an unpaired t-test (two-tailed). Number between each group represented the P-value; P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
