Medium 199 and RPMI-1640 were used as the bases for 2 defined media preparations. M199+ contained Medium 199 buffered with flanks' salts and 25 msmallcap˜M Hepes, and was supplemented with folic acid, haemin, penicillin, streptomycin and basal medium Eagle vitamins. RPMI+ consisted of RPMI-1640 with 25 msmallcap˜M Hepes and smallcap˜L-glutamine fortified with the same components as for Medium 199+, and adenosine. Experimental cultures were initiated from a cloned line ofL. donovanipromastigotes (MHOM/SD/00/1S-2D). Parasites grown in M199+, and in the control M199, 10% FBS had equivalent generation times of 8.9±0.1 h, whereas those grown in RPMI+ had a mean doubling time of 15.8±0.05 h. The mean generation time remained stable for over 100 serial passages once they were adapted to the media. Independent of the media used, promastigotes attained equivalent cell densities of 3-4×107cells/ml at late log/early stationary phase. Promastigotes were serially propagated for over a year.L. mexicana(MNYC/BZ/62/M379),L. amazonensis(MHOM/BR/73/M2264),L. major(MHOM/IL/80/Friedlin) andCrithidiae luciliahave also been serially cultivated.ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:This paper reports the successful long-term cultivation of a clone ofLeishmania donovanias promastigotes in commercially available, defined, macromolecule-free culture media at an undefined temperature [presumably 26 °C]. Full details are given in the paper; the 2 media used were (i) Medium 199 with Hanks' salts buffered with HEPES and supplemented with haemin and folic acid (plus antibiotics), and (ii) RPMI-1640 with HEPES and smallcap˜L-glutamine, supplemented with haemin, folic acid and adenosine (plus antibiotics). Growth was more rapid in the former (doubling time about 9 h compared with about 16 h), but equivalent densities of 3-4 × 107promastigotes/ml were achieved.Isolates ofL. mexicana, L. amazonensis, L. majorandCrithidia luciliaehave also been grown in these defined media.newline˜J.R.
