Attachment of human neutrophils and monocytes to Brugia malayi microfilaria precedes parasite killing

Human neutrophils and monocytes bound to a Brugia malayi microfilaria. Microfilaria were incubated with the human cells for 24 hours and then collected by Cytospin. The preparation was stained for DNA (DAPI - blue), neutrophils (CD-16 - green), monocytes (CD-14 - red) and human neutrophil elastase (purple). McCoy et al.
