Abstract excerpt
In vitro differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei from the bloodstream to the procyclic form is efficiently induced by the combination of cold shock from 37 to 27 degrees C and the addition of citrate/cis-aconitate (CCA) to the incubation medium. Here it is reported that exposure of pleomorphic bloo...
