A method for obtaining large numbers of trophozoites of avirulent strains of Toxoplasma gondii using an antibody to interferon-gamma
J Parasitol.
1989 Feb.
Abstract
Injection of cysts of avirulent strains of T. gondii intraperitoneally into mice that were pretreated with monoclonal antibody against interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) provided more than 10(7) trophozoites of those strains. This method is suitable for obtaining large numbers of trophozoites of T. gondii strains that are avirulent for mice.
