Figure 8From: 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 and survival assays of Leishmania promastigotes to monocyte-derived macrophages. (A) Average of monocyte-derived macrophages binding to Leishmania from naturally infected animals with the presence or absence of C5D serum, after 50 min incubation (5 × 106 parasites/well) (B) Average of monocyte-derived macrophages binding to Leishmania from experimental infected animals with the presence or absence of C5D serum, after 50 min incubation (5 × 106 parasites/well). (C) Average of infected peritoneal macrophages binding to Leishmania from experimental infected animals with the presence or absence of C5D serum after, fourth eight hour incubation (5 × 106 parasites/well) (*) p < 0.01.Back to article page
