Figure 3From: In vitro binding and survival assays of Leishmania parasites to peripherical blood monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages isolated from dogs naturally and experimentally infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasiThe binding of Leishmania promastigotes to canine monocytes. (A) to Leishmania promastigotes bound to monocytes from animals naturally infected (ANI) with L. chagasi and animals experimentally infected (AEI) with L. chagasi in the presence of C5D serum (2.5 × 106 parasites/well) (*) p < 0.01. (B) Leishmania promastigotes bound to monocytes from dogs naturally and experimental infected with L. chagasi in the absence of C5D serum (2.5 × 106 parasites/well) (*) p < 0.01.Back to article page
