The production of ROS metabolites was measured in 96-well round-bottom microtiter plates (Corning, NY, USA) as previously described [29 (link)]. Camel granulocytes (1 × 106/100 μL/well) were incubated in 50 μL RPMI culture medium alone or in a medium containing T. evansi (4 × 106 parasite/mL) for 30 min (37 °C, 5% CO2). After 15 min of incubation, dihydrorhodamine (DHR) 123 (Mobitec, Goettingen, Germany) was added to the cells at a final concentration of 750 ng/mL. The cells were washed in RPMI medium, and ROS production was analyzed by flow cytometry.
