Abstract excerpt
Bioluminescent reporter assays have been widely used to study the effect of Toxoplasma gondii on host gene expression. In the present study, we extend these studies by engineering novel reporter cell lines containing a gamma-activated sequence (GAS) element driving firefly luciferase (FLUC). In RAW264.7 macrophages, T. gondii type I strain (GT1) infection blocked interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-induced FLUC activity to...
