Ultrastructural study of the TG180 murine sarcoma cell invasion by Toxoplasma gondii: comparison between in vivo and in vitro cell cultures

Infection of non-adherent TG180 murine sarcoma cells with Toxoplasma gondii was compared, at the ultrastructural level, in both in vivo and in vitro conditions. Suspensions of 3.0 x 10(6) TG180 cells infected in vitro with 1.0 x 10(6) parasites of the RH strain were harvested between the first and 6...
