title: In vitro assessment of anti-Leishmania immunity of man acquired with a vaccine.
abstract: Monocytes, obtained from a human volunteer immunized with a Leishmania infantum-derived vaccine, when cultured in vitro displayed a strong parasiticidal activity against L. major promastigotes. In addition, immune serum conferred leishmanicidal activities to monocytes of normal, unexposed donors, and to murine macrophages.
