Ancell mAbs were used by this Cal State Research group to block trogocytic killing of Triconomas Vaginelas parasite by human PLB-95 Neutrophil-Like-cells in vitro. Blocking CD11c and CD18 receptors on NLC with antibodies resulted in significant reduction of killing, implicting CR3 mediated complement fixation as the primary mechanism.
