阿米巴活体微培养法

目的 建立一种既可做阿米巴与病原体共培养实验，又可连续观察阿米巴活体形态细微变化的培养技术。 方法 以24孔细胞培养板覆盖玻片为容器，37 ℃下微量悬滴将阿米巴与白色念珠菌共同培养, 普通光学显微镜（×1000）下连续观察阿米巴的形态、活动能力、吞噬的细菌等情况。 结果 经微量悬滴培养在普通光学显微镜油镜下可连续观察阿米巴各种形态，滋养体呈T、K、Y字形态，并可连续观察吞噬白色念珠菌的过程。 结论 本法可观察到常规固定染色标本无法见到的阿米巴滋养体T、K、Y字形态及其吞噬白色念珠菌过程。

A Micro-Culture Method for Continuous Observationof Free-living Amoebae

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for co-culture of amoebae and endosymbionts, also for continuously observing the microphenotype of amoebae. METHODS: 24 wells culture plate with cover glass on the wells was used as containers. Amoebae and Candida albicans were co-cultured in microdrop of medium in the wells at 37 degrees C, and observed under x1000. RESULTS: Continuous observation revealed trophozoites in various shapes like letters T, K, or Y, their movement and ingestion phenomenon were observed. CONCLUSION: The micro-culture method is useful in observing the amoebal morphology and its phagocytic process to Candida albicans.
