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...
