Trypanosoma cruzi: extracellular amastigote-resembling forms induced by chicken and human plasma.
Chicken and human plasma and some of their proteins, partially isolated by means of isoelectrofocusing and ion-exchange chromatography, induce changes in the epimastigotes of Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi into forms resembling extracellular amastigotes in synthetic media.
