Abstract excerpt
Transfection of pgpA into Leishmania confers resistance to arsenite and antimonials. By gene targeting mediated by homologous recombination the two alleles of the pgpA gene of a L. tarentolae wild-type cell were disrupted sequentially with the neomycin and hygromycin phosphotransferase genes. This pgpA null mutant showed an increased sensitivity to arsenite and antimonite. In addition, the L. tarentolae pgpA null...
