Plasmodium yoelii yoelii 17XNL constitutively expressing GFP throughout the life cycle
T Ono, T Tadakuma, A Rodriguez - Experimental parasitology, 2007 - Elsevier
Plasmodium yoelii is a rodent parasite commonly used as a model to study malaria infection.
It is the preferred model parasite for liver-stage immunological studies and is also widely
used to study hepatocyte, erythrocyte and mosquito infection. We have generated a P. yoelii
yoelii 17XNL line that is stably transfected with the green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene. This
parasite line constitutively expresses high levels of GFP during the complete parasite life
cycle including liver, blood and mosquito stages. These fluorescent parasites can be used in …
