DNA Integration in Leishmania Genome: An Application for Vaccine Development and Drug Screening.
Transfection technology is an important tool in the investigation of gene function and the modulation of gene expression, thereby contributing to the advancement of basic cellular research, drug discovery, and target validation. Creation of the mutant cells through gene disruption and exogenous protein expression with noticeable phenotype like reporter genes are among other key applications. In this chapter, protocols for generating recombinant Leishmania expressing EGFP or EGFP-Luciferase and their applications are given in detail.
