Tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite, actively invade a broad spectrum of cell types.T. gondiiinfects leukocytes and spreads to distant organs such as the brain, lungs and muscles. However, the mechanism ofT. gondiitransmission from infected leukocytes to peripheral organs is unknown. To show the dynamics of infected leukocytes and intracellular parasitesin vivo, previous studies have preparedT. gondii-infected leukocytes and injected them into circulation in experimental animals. However, when the infected leukocytes are preparedin vitro, some extracellular tachyzoites remain in the leukocyte cell culture because it is almost impossible to wash out these extracellular tachyzoites. These extracellular tachyzoites may distort experimental results. In this study, we report a method for removing extracellular tachyzoites from leukocyte culture suspension using antibody-conjugated magnetic beads. Using this method, extracellular tachyzoites in suspension cell culture can be effectively eliminated.
