Stable Transfection of the Human Parasite <i>Leishmania major</i> Delineates a 30-Kilobase Region Sufficient for Extrachromosomal Replication and Expression
1990-03-01
Abstract excerpt
To delineate segments of the genome of the human protozoan parasite Leishmania major necessary for replication and expression, we developed a vector (pR-NEO) which can be reproducibly introduced into L. major. This DNA was derived from a 30-kilobase extrachromosomal amplified DNA bearing the dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase gene, with the coding region for neomycin phosphotransferase substituted for th...
