- Abstract
- Adult TB mice are very susceptible to P. berghei. The ATP concentration of their erythrocytes is 116 mg/100 ml. The foetus, however are resistant against malaria; the ATP concentration of their erythrocytes is 153 mg/100 ml just before birth, and 438 mg/100 ml at the 12th day of gestation. It is concluded that the resistance of the mice foetus against malaria is not explained by a decreased level of ATP in their erythrocytes.
