Inhibition by Mycoplasma dispar of Ciliary Activity in Tracheal Organ Cultures

C J Howard 1, L H Thomas 1
PMCID: PMC415014  PMID: 4604610

Abstract

The inhibition by Mycoplasma dispar of ciliary activity of organ cultures of bovine fetal trachea was found to be dependent on the presence of serum in the maintenance medium. Inhibitory activity was unaffected by catalase and no toxic substance was demonstrated in organ culture supernatant fluid.
