Additional remarks genetic modification | To introduce a constitutively expressed mCherry cassette into the P. berghei ANKA 15cy1A genome and generate the wt_red230p stable transgenic line, the pmCherrycon vector plasmid was constructed. The plasmid pL0018 (MRA-787, MR4) served as a backbone for this vector. The plasmid pL0018 contains two expression cassettes, one for the expression of the selectable marker Toxoplasma gondii dhfr (tgdhfr) under the control of the P. berghei dhfr promoter (dhfrp) and a second under the control of the P. berghei ef1αp that allows constitutive expression of any inserted downstream transgene. The 230p cassette allows integration via double crossover homologous recombination. mCherry was amplified from pmCherry vector (Clonetech) as a BamHI fragment and cloned into the pCR2.1-TOPO vector (Invitrogen). The BamHI fragment of the GFP mutant 3 gene of plasmid pL0018 was replaced with the BamHI mCherry gene fragment. |
