From: Immunomodulation of human monocytes following exposure to Lutzomyia intermedia saliva
Effect of L. intermedia SGS on parasite load of LPS-stimulated human monocytes infected with L. braziliensis. Monocytes were pre-treated with SGS overnight, stimulated with LPS for 4 h and infected with L. braziliensis for 4 hours. Glass coverslips were stained with H&E and counted for the number of infected cells (A) and amastigotes per 100 cells (B) by light microscopy. The data are reported as the mean ± the standard error of the mean. (n = 8).
