Leishmania chagasi-Infected Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages Co-Cultured with Autologous Leishmania-Naïve T CellsHuman monocyte-derived macrophages from a Leishmania-naïve donor were infected with Leishmania chagasi promastigote for 24 hrs, and co-cultured with purified CD3+ autologous T cells for an additional 24 hours. Cells were fixed and stained with Diff Quik. Images (600x) show an uninfected macrophage and several infected macrophages with intracellular amastigotes. Numerous T cells are visible in the image (see Ettinger and Wilson, doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0000252).
