Adherence of parasitized HbS and HbC erythrocytes to blood monocytes. (a) Phagocytosis of trophozoite-infected erythrocytes by blood monocyte-derived macrophages. Results from AS, AS/β-thal (AS/beta), SS, AC, and CC erythrocytes were normalized to those from AA erythrocytes run in parallel. Mean percentages are indicated by horizontal bars. Results were obtained from two parasite lines (3D7 and FVO) and multiple blood donors (7AA, 4AS, 1AS/β-thal, 4SS, 4AC, and 4CC) (not all combinations tested). (b) Adherence of trophozoite-infected erythrocytes to blood monocytes. Results from AS erythrocytes were normalized to those from AA erythrocytes run in parallel. Tests included two parasite lines (3D7 and 7G8) and multiple blood donors (3AA and 3AS) (not all combinations tested). The mean (± SEM) number of parasitized AA erythrocytes per monocyte was 1.6 ± 0.2.
