Tick cells grown on polystyrene beads. (a) Light micrograph of BmVIII-SCC cells grown with polystyrene microcarrier beads (Corning® Microcarriers) 10 days post-inoculation (p.i.) in rotating cell culture system bioreactor; note early attachment of BMVIII-SCC cells attached along lateral edges of individual beads and the halo-like appearance and hollow core of polystyrene beads that reportedly have a proprietary electrostatic surface charge for improved cell attachment; 100× view; scale bar = 50 µm. (b) Light micrograph of BmVIII-SCC cells 30 days p.i. surrounding polystyrene beads; 200× view. Scale bar = 25 µm.
