Cultivation of TRIC agents: a comparison between the use of BHK-21 and irradiated McCoy cells

W A Blyth et al. J Hyg (Lond). 1974 Feb.

Abstract

BHK-21 cells and HeLa cells were as sensitive as irradiated McCoy cells for titrating both fast- and slow-growing strains of TRIC agents. BHK-21 cells were as efficient as irradiated McCoy cells for isolating TRIC agents from trachoma and from the genital tract of patients with non-gonococcal urethritis. More inclusions were formed in BHK-21 than in irradiated McCoy cells.
