On the other hand, a higher number of phosphorylated proteins was found in control samples in case of ApoA1 at S220 (5 controls vs. none in babesiosis samples), Chromogranin A at S190 (4 controls vs. 1 babesiosis) and Fibrinogen α at S22 (9 controls vs. 6 babesiosis). This evidence concerns the gene APOA1 and babesiosis.
