Abstract
The studies on growth pattern of a nonpathogenic Leishmania donovani, strain UR6, in different media showed that it can be regularly cultivated amd maintained in modified Ray's Medium (Agar) and three other liquid media, namely DME Medium, Medium 199 and RPMI-1640 which are manufactured in India. The well known N.N.N. Medium provided quantitatively poorer growth in comparison to these medium. Measurement of L. donovani cell concentration by optical density in a spectrophotometer has been worked out for expressing immunochemical observations on antigens in terms of cells per mililitre.
