In vitro Culture of Taenia crassiceps Larval Cells and Cyst Regeneration after Injection into Mice
1 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
Taenia crassiceps cysticerci were disrupted through trypsinization to isolate cells which can be maintained in culture for up to 15 days. When injected intraperitoneally into susceptible BALB/cAnN mice, complete cysticerci were recovered in a number that is proportional to the quantity of injected cells. Thus, cysticerci contain cells which can reconstitute complete cysts, suggesting that individual cells play a...
