Scientists can now distinguish trypanosomes recognized by antibody a from trypanosomes recognized by antibody b, and they can measure the abundance of each type of trypanosome. if you plotted the abundance of each type or trypanosome versus time for the same patient, what would you expect to see?

If I plot the abundance of each trypanosome type versus the time for the same patient what will I expect to see?

1. The abundance of trypanosomes recognized by antibody A and antibody B both should peak at the eighth day, fourteenth day, and twenty-second day.

2. The abundance of trypanosomes recognized by antibody A and B should peak the eighth day and fourteenth day. while the trypanosomes recognized by antibody B should peak on the twenty-second day.

3. The abundance of trypanosomes recognized by antibody A should peak at the eighth day while an abundance of trypanosome recognized by antibody B should peak on the fourteenth day.

4. The abundance of trypanosome recognized by antibody B should peak at the eighth day while the abundance of trypanosome recognized by antibody A should peak at the fourteenth day.

If all this abundance are plotted for each type of trypanosomes versus the time, then the conclusion would be; the abundance of trypanosome recognized by antibody A should peak at the eighth day while an abundance of trypanosomes recognized by antibody B should peak at the fourteenth day.
