> Are axenic amastigotes a valid model (and for what?), the first developmental step towards real amastigotes, or just stressed-out promastigotes? Many of us use axenics and swear by them, others are skeptical, others will accept what's inside a macrophage, still others only want amastigotes isolated from something with a fur. I believe we should come to some sort of common language and interpretation. I am somewhere in the middle myself, preferring to do things in macrophages whenever possible.
