Two to four hours after L. major or bead injection, individual DDC (number 1 to 10) were randomly selected, and the number of the respective particles present intracellularly or within half a cell diameter around individual DDC determined (n = 10 DDC) from 3 individual experiments. Ratio equals mean extracellular:mean intracellular particles.
