If you place saliva in a test tube, cells will continue to reproduce. These cells will protect themselves against invasion from microbes through TLR's and the production of basic antimicrobial proteins. They need very little attention to conditions governing growth.
Since the parasitic 'zoites [term used until formally classified] seek out cells for housing, and cannot survive antibodies, I think these cells should provide the perfect model for examining the interaction of the cell invasion process. I will place the infective agent into small tube with cells, and incubate for 12 hours. I will report in next post, with photo's.
