Fig. 7From: Humoral and cellular immune responses induced by the urease-derived peptide Jaburetox in the model organism Rhodnius prolixus Phagocytosis assay in cultured hemocytes. Hemocytes were cultured as described in Methods and incubated with PB (Control) or with 50 and 100 nM Jaburetox for 24 h. Afterwards, the hemocytes were incubated with 1 × 107 FITC conjugated yeast cells/ml for 1 h and the yeast cells internalized by the hemocytes (a) and associated to them (b) were counted. The values represent Mean ± SEM and the experiment was repeated 3 timesBack to article page
