T. cruzi-infected DC-PBMC. DC-PBMC presented different susceptibilities to T. cruzi infection. DC-PBMC were incubated with T. cruzi trypomastigotes at parasite-to-cell ratio (5:1). After 18 h, the cultures were washed to remove free parasites and DC-PBMC were fixed with methanol and stained with Giemsa stain. Percentages of infected DC-PBMC (A) and mean numbers of amastigotes per infected DC-PBMC (B) were recorded after microscopy examination of at least 200 cells. Results are the mean ± standard error for six independent experiments with six different blood donors.
