Popis: The protein protector requirements for CA-I and RA T. cruzi trypomastigotes were standardized. The CA-I trypomastigotes needed a supplement of 5% serum or 5% bovine albumin in the washing and/or resuspending solutions to preserve their viability. For RA trypomastigotes, requirements were in the order of 1%. Trypomastigotes viability was determined by motility at the fresh microscopic observation and by mouse inoculation. This is a further demonstration of the particular behaviour reported for the CA-I bloodstream forms compared with those of RA.
