Motion picture study of the response of cultured peritoneal macrophages to the invasion of endozoits of toxoplasma gondii, RH strain.
A motion picture study of macrophage culture infected with the endozoits of Toxoplasma gondii revealed an enhanced locomotor activity in afected cells: regular contractions of the cell resulting in an incomplete extrusion of the parasitophorous vacuole or host-cell destruction, formation of excessive undulating membranes and pinocytotic vesicles.
