PCR and RT-PCR analysis of the transgenic mutant parasite. (A) PCR analysis of 5' and 3' integrations on genomic DNA isolated from transgenic mutant parasites, PbPf S108N, are shown in lanes 1 and 4, respectively. Genomic DNA isolated from PbGFP wild-type parasite and distilled water (Neg) served as negative controls as shown in lanes 2, 5 and 3, 6, respectively. (B) RT-PCR analysis of PbPf S108N parasites. RNA from the PbPf S108N parasite was reverse transcribed to cDNA and used as a template to amplify Pfdhfr, Pbdhfr and P. berghei alpha tubulin (Pbα-tubulin) genes. The reactions were performed with reverse transcription (lane 1), without reverse transcription (lane 2), P. berghei cDNA derived from PbGFP and distilled water (Neg) were used as negative controls with and without reverse transcription (lanes 3-6).
