Abstract

SUMMARYTRIC agents do not multiply in mouse peritoneal macrophages in culture but have a toxic effect on them, whereas they multiply readily in BHK-21 cells. Sections of macrophages and of BHK-21 cells fixed during the first 90 min after inoculation were examined by electron microscopy. Macrophages ingested all forms of the organism, which were eventually degraded in lysosomes. However, elementary bodies were distinguished from other TRIC particles by the delay in their transfer to lysosomes. BHK-21 cells ingested elementary bodies selectively, and in these cells the organisms were neither found in lysosomes nor degraded. Instead they showed morphological changes that probably represented an early stage of development.
