Abstract

1. The optimal growth in tissue culture of macrophages and the exoerythrocytic forms of Plasmodium gallinaceum occurred between 7 and 11 atmospheres of pressure. Growth was reduced to 50% at 5 and 13 atmospheres. 2. High concentrations of serum (over 50%) were inhibitory to both the malarial parasites and the host cell, the macrophage. © 1950, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
