Phagocytosis of haemozoin in-vitro depends on dose and incubation time. Whole Blood from a healthy human volunteer was incubated with synthetic haemozoin (sHz) at 0.01, 0.06 and 0.12 μmol/ml of heme equivalent and with no sHz (control). The percentage of Hz-containing granulocytes (open bars) and monocytes (grey bars) was determined at time zero, and after four and seven hours of incubation. Identification of leukocytes and depolarization as described in the text and shown in figure 2. Results are the mean values of triplicates (± one SD)
