Separation of viable microfilariae free of blood cells on Percoll gradients
J Helminthol.
1984 Mar.
Abstract
A consistent and reproducible method is described for isolating pure populations of microfilariae of Litomosoides carinii, Brugia pahangi, B. malayi and Dipetalonema viteae, free of cells, from blood, by density gradient centrifugation on Percoll in 0.25 M sucrose. The recovery of the microfilariae was 85 to 97%.
