Taenia crassiceps cysticerci were disrupted through trypsinization to isolate cells which can be maintained in culture for up to 15 days. When injected intraperitoneally into susceptible BALB/cAnN mice, complete cysticerci were recovered in a number that is proportional to the quantity of injected cells. Thus, cysticerci contain cells which can reconstitute complete cysts, suggesting that individual cells play a role, independent to budding, during asexual multiplication of T. crassiceps cysticerci in the peritoneal cavity of mice. In contrast, injection of the cells into resistant C57BL/6J mice does not result in the recovery of complete cysts. These findings provide a new experimental model to identify resistance factors in the hosts, for the in vitro screening of anti-cysticerci drugs and for the genetic manipulation of cysticerci through recombinant DNA techniques.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D003551 Cysticercosis Infection with CYSTICERCUS, the larval form of the various tapeworms of the genus Taenia (usually T. solium in man). In humans they penetrate the intestinal wall and invade subcutaneous tissue, brain, eye, muscle, heart, liver, lung, and peritoneum. Brain involvement results in NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS.
