Stearic acid as plasma replacement for intracellular in vitro culture of Plasmodium knowlesi.
A chloroform extract of Cohn's fraction IV-4 of human plasma successfully replaced whole fraction IV-4 for the intracellular in vitro culture of Plasmodium knowlesi. We are now able to report the successful replacement of monkey plasma by stearic acid.
