Effect of cell-conditioned media on biomass production of Leishmania parasites
نویسندگان
چکیده
A large amount of parasite biomass production necessitates a higher volume of culture media, and this further increases the overall cost. For this reason, novel and alternative culture supplementary materials have been continuously investigated. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effect of cell-conditioned media, collected as waste material during routine cell culture, on the growth and development of Leishmania parasites in vitro. In this study, for the first time, we show that cell-conditioned medium obtained from MCF-7 culture increased the growth of Leishmania parasites in vitro. These results show that the metabolites that are present in cell-conditioned media may play an important role in in vitro parasite culture. Cell-conditioned media may be used as an economic tool for isolation, cultivation, and obtaining biomass of Leishmania parasites in laboratory conditions.

Study of the inhibitory effect of the media culture parameters and cell population to increase the biomass production of Dunaliella tertiolecta
Microalgal growth curve, after the exponential phase, shows a stationary phase where algalbiomass production is inhibited and remains constant by some factors such as nutrientdepletion and intrinsic behavior. The present study is concerned with evaluating effects ofthe culture medium condition and intrinsic behavior on biomass production by Dunaliellatertiolecta. To this end, effect of pH, nutr...

Leishmanias can be produced by inoculation in conditioned McCoy cell culture growth medium (CGM). Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi (100 parasites) grown in NNN medium was inoculated in 2.5 mL CGM, kept in plates (24 wells) and its multiplication was observed for five days (120 hours). After day 5, the medium was saturated with the flagellate forms of the parasite (promastigotes). The re...
متن کاملArginase Activity and Its Effects on Pathogenesis of Leishmania
Leishmaniasis is a tropical parasitic disease that has become a major health challenge in many countries of the world. Not only has not been found any effective vaccine or treatment for the disease eradication, but also the advent of drug resistance is also increasing. Therefore, it is vital to take a precise attention to the physiochemical cycles of the Leishmania parasite and to identify i...
