Cellular immunity in chagas' disease patients. Lymphoproliferative response to subcellular fractions of Trypanosoma cruzi
The ability of peripheral mononuclear cells from Chagas' disease patients (CDP) to generate specific proliferative responses in vitro to whole homogenate (WH) and subcellular fractions of T. cruzi was investigated. Flagellar (F), microsomal (Mc) and cell sap (CS) fractions were isolated from a...

The ability of peripheral mononuclear cells from Chagas' disease patients (CDP) to generate specific proliferative responses in vitro to whole homogenate (WH) and subcellular fractions of T. cruzi was investigated.

Parasite-free human peripheral mononuclear cells were isolated by centrifugation of leukocyte-rich plasma over discontinuous gradients of Ficoll-Hypaque and cultured for 6 days in the presence of the different fractions of T. cruzi.
