1. Protection is associated with trogocytosis but not phagocytosis of human cells.
Protection is associated with trogocytosis but not phagocytosis of human cells. (A) Human cells were pretreated with staurosporine (Stauro; dark gray) or DMSO (light gray). The human cell viability before coincubation is shown. (B) Quantification of human cell internalization by amoebae. (C) Quantification of amoebic death. Percentages of dead amoebae were normalized to the numbers of dead amoebae in the amoeba-alone samples. Eight replicates across 4 independent experiments were performed.
