Fig. 3: effect of γCdcPLI on the invasion of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigotes in macrophages C57. Macrophages C57 or promastigotes were pre-treated with γCdcPLI (10 and 50 µg/mL) prior infection for 24 and 1 h, respectively, and then allowed to interact with macrophages for 4 h. (A) Total number of intracellular parasites, and (B) Percentage of infected cells in a total of 200 cells examined randomly. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Significant differences were determined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. *Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) compared with the control.
