The relationship of experimental pathogenicity in vivo with in vitro cytoadherence and cytotoxicity of 6 different isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis
The experimental pathogenic effects in vivo and in vitro of 6 different isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis were studied following their inoculation into NMRI mice and on to adherent cultures of HeLa cells.

Summary: | The experimental pathogenic effects
in vivo and
in vitro of 6 different isolates of
Trichomonas vaginalis were studied following their inoculation into NMRI mice and on to adherent cultures of HeLa cells. Contact between the parasite and the adherent monolayer of cells was necessary to induce the monolayer to detach. The strains which were more viruleat to mice also showed a greater weighted index of adherence; the weighted index of cytotoxicity
in vitro did not, on the other hand, correlate with experimental pathology
in vivo. |
