A new defined medium for cultivating Leishmania promastigotes.
A chemically defined medium to grow the promastigotes of 19 stocks of Leishmania is described. The medium was developed by making qualitative and quantitative modifications of the medium AR-103 devised for Trypanosoma cruzi. The new medium, designated as MD-29, can be used in studies on the nutritional requirements of promastigotes.
