Abstract

The AA. analyze the ultrastructural and immunological patterns of a low virulent strain of T. gondii cultured in vitro on A-9 cells line (PV-H1C-83). The tissue culture method described here is highly recommended to study the immunological aspects of experimental toxoplasmosis. Biological tests' results and the time courses of serological tests are also similar to those obtained from mice infected with cerebral tissue containing cysts. The low virulent strain (PV-H1C-83), when cultured in vitro, is able to induce the formation of large parasitophorous vacuoles, in which the EM investigation shows a typical cyst wall enveloping numerous bradyzoites.
