The value of in vitro cell culture of granulocytes in the detection of Ehrlichia Valor da cultura celular de granulócito in vitro na detecção de Ehrlichia

Peripheral blood leukocytes from different animals were isolated from whole blood and maintained in Dulbeco's medium containing homologous serum without antibiotics. After 72 hrs microscopic examination of these cells showed that most animals were infected with Ehrlichia. Observation of thin bl...
