  • Patent number: 4824666
    Abstract: A method of producing large scale growth of parasites of the genus Toxoplasma is disclosed which comprises inoculating the microorganisms into a non-adherent human cell line, such as a monocytoid lymphoma cell line, and maintaining the cell line in tissue culture media capable of supporting the growth of the microorgranism while the cell line is being maintained. This large scale production allows for the development of vaccines for Toxoplasma microorganisms which previously have been hard to grow in the numbers needed to readily prepare vaccines, and allows for more rapid antibody detection procedures with regard to these microorganisms. There are also disclosed methods for preparing such vaccines, and methods for carrying out antibody detection assays.
