摘要: Ectopic expression of genes from recombinant plasmids is commonly used to study gene function. In Dictyostelium, three drug resistance cassettes are as selectable markers in vectors. We report here a comparative the green fluorescent protein (GFP) vectors containing each drug-resistant cassettes. The was highest cells transformed with neomycin-resistant cassette (pDNeoGFP), followed by hygromycin-resistant (pDHygGFP) and blasticidin-resistant (pDBsrGFP). level GFP directly related copy number vector transformants. turn, depended on well concentration selection. general, higher numbers could be selected concentration. also affected method transformation. For pDHygGFP, much electroporation than those calcium phosphate coprecipitation. However, only slight difference observed for pDNeoGFP or pDBsrGFP.
