Figure 5From: 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) chagasiFlow cytometer analysis of the binding of Leishmania promastigotes to canine monocytes. Serum dependent conditions induce a higher association of Leishmania with monocytes as measured by both mean fluorescent intensity (CFSE) and percentage of monocytes associated with Leishmania.
