The phenotype of cells transporting sporozoites of Eimeria necatrix during a primary infection was determined using a panel of six monoclonal antibodies to various chicken lymphocyte surface markers. Sporozoites and cells harboring them were examined at 8, 12 and 18 h postinfection using two-color immunoflorescence and confocal microscopy. The majority of parasites observed within lymphocytes were found in CD 8 +...
