Relevance of hemin for in vitro differentiation of Trypanosoma cruzi
Abstract:
Simple culture conditions that allow good growth and high yields of trypomastigotes are described. The proportion of metacyclic trypomastigotes increases with the concentration of hemin in the culture medium, reaching a peak of 80% after 10 days with 20 mg hemin/liter.
