Popis: RELEASE of viable microorganisms from host cells is a necessary step in many studies of host-parasite relationships. Techniques developed include hypotonic1 or hypobaric shock2 and sonication3 and the use of chemical reagents4, but none of the available methods is of general application. We describe here a simple technique for obtaining quantitative release of Leishmania parasites from infected macrophages. This method was also successful in releasing another microorganism, the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, from infected cells.
