Leishmania mexicana Induces Limited Recruitment and Activation of Monocytes and Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Early during Infection
Figure 2
L. mexicana infection does not lead to a defect in differentiation of monocytes to mo-DCs.
C57BL/6 mice were infected in the ear with L. major or L. mexicana and ears were processed as above. Percentage of monocytes and mo-DCs on day 3 and 14 were used to determine a ratio of differentiation from monocytes to mo-DCs in L. major or L. mexicana infected mice. The results expressed are the mean ratio (± SE) of 3 mice per group. The results are representative of two experiments.
