Comparison of Reproduction Densities in Different Liquid Media of Trypanosoma cruzi and Cryopreservation.

CONCLUSION: Thus, the selection of RPMI-1640 medium, followed by M199 and SIM media would be appropriate when studying T. cruzi epimastigotes. Studies using epimastigotes should be planned for up to 18 days and for those using amastigotes, it would be appropriate to plan the studies after the 18th day. Moreover, T. cruzi can be cryopreserved with 15% DMSO and stored for a long time in liquid nitrogen. PMID: 30604684 [PubMed - in process]
