Green fluorescent protein expressed in living mosquitoes--without the requirement of transformation.
Mosquitoes transmit viruses, protozoa and nematodes that are major causes of morbidity and mortality in humans. Details of arthropod anatomy and development, and the replication and development of pathogens in the arthropod vector, have relied upon examination of dissected or histologically processed material. We constructed a double-subgenomic Sindbis (dsSIN) virus expressing green fluorescent...
متن کاملGreen Fluorescent Protein in the Genetic Transformation of Plants
The genetic transformation of plants is a promising method for introducing and modifying various desirable traits. Several marker genes ( -glucuronidase, GUS; luciferase, LUC; or -galactosidase, LacZ) have been successfully used in genetic transformation protocols. Relatively recently, green fluorescent protein (GPF) marker has become popular due to its many advantages in plant transformation s...
متن کاملIs green fluorescent protein toxic to the living cells?
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has become more popular to be used as a living marker for positively transfected clones in many studies. To establish stable cell lines constitutively expressing GFP, three GFPs expressed from plasmid pBIEGFP, pSG5GFP, and pRSGFP were introduced into NIH/3T3, BHK-21, Huh-7, and HepG2 cells. All the GFPs we used are the mutant forms of a common wild phenotype. The...
متن کاملSimultaneous visualization of the yellow and green forms of the green fluorescent protein in living cells.
In this study we sought to develop a method for the co-localization of proteins in living cells utilizing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and a red-shifted EGFP variant, EYFP (enhanced yellow fluorescent protein). EYFP was expressed as an unsubstituted molecule while EGFP was fused to NF1 (EGFP-NF1), a transcription factor found exclusively in the nucleus. The Leica TCS SP laser s...
متن کاملGreen fluorescent protein as a marker in Rickettsia typhi transformation.
Transformation of rickettsiae is a recent accomplishment, but utility of this technique is limited due to the paucity of selectable markers suitable for use in this intracellular pathogen. We chose a green fluorescent protein variant optimized for fluorescence under UV lights (GFPUV) as a fluorometric marker and transformed Rickettsia typhi with an rpoB-GFPUV fusion construct. The rickettsiae w...
