Parasites expressing the firefly luciferase were used to infect THP1, and the levels of parasites surviving Glucantime treatment were calculated by measuring luciferase activity expressed as percentage relative light unit (RLU %). The average of two independent experiments performed in duplicate is shown. Open circles indicate strain 175 (sensitive); open triangles indicate strain 467 (intermediate resistance); and open squares indicate strain 827 (high resistance).
