Comparison of P. falciparum antibody-mediated phagocytosis following different enzymatic treatment. P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes (PE) were subjected to treatment with trypsin or chymotrypsin or untreated for 1 h at 37°C. Following enzymatic treatment, PE were either opsonized with P2 or mock-opsonized and incubated with monocytes for 4 h at 37°C.
