Figure 6

Permissivity of L929 cells toward Leishmania amazonensis infection. L929 cells were seeded in 25 cm2 flasks and treated with mitomycin. They were then infected, at different parasite/fibroblast ratio, with freshly differentiated stationary phase L. amazonensis promastigotes. After 24 hours of contact cells were washed and the percentage of fibroblats bearing attached or internalized parasites was determined. Results are expressed as a mean value of a triplicate experiment.
