A glass bead protocol for recovery of host cell free Ehrlichia canis and quantification by Sybr-green real-time PCR

Biocell. 2011 Apr;35(1):35-6.

Abstract

E. canis infection of the canine cell line DH82 is a routine in studies with this bacteria. A protocol for isolation of host cell free bacteria was developed based on the use of glass beads. Improvement of infection with E. canis isolated by this method was detected by real-time PCR.
