Fig. 4. Light microscopy analysis of PV formation. Macrophages treated with
IFN-
were infected with L. amazonensis metacyclic
promastigotes (A-D) or amastigotes (E-H). At the time points indicated,
macrophages were fixed and then examined by phase-contrast microscopy. In each
panel, some parasites are indicated by white arrowheads. Bar, 10 µm.
