In vitro cellular immunity in Chagas' disease.

abstract：:The effect of normal human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes on in vitro multiplication of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites was investigated. It was shown that normal neutrophils were able to phagocytose parasitized erythrocytes and free parasites and thus inhibit in vitro multiplication of the para...
