Adherence of Pneumocystis carinii in lung cells during in vitro cultivation.
This study describes an approach to cultivation of Pneumocystis carinii (Pc) on 2 cell lines derived from lung (A549, human and L2, rat) with emphasis on the organisms which adhered to the cells. Immunofluorescent staining was used for growth assays.
