Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information two alleles of the GPI12 gene in Leishmania major are successfully removed enabling the generation of a null mutant, which supports the idea that GPI12 is not an essential gene for the growth and survival of Leishmania and the homozygous knockouts of Leishmania are able to survive. Generation of a mutant parasite that causes no damaged to the host Leishmania major

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction an in vitro study using murine MQ cell line J774 shows that by the use of recombinant parasites the entry rate and infecting ability is decreased. The mutant parasites are unable to produce skin lesions even six months post-infection in the BALB/c mice Leishmania major
physiological function GPI12 is not an essential gene for the growth and survival of Leishmania and the homozygous knockouts of Leishmania are able to survive. Stationary phase promastigotes are used for in vitro cell line J774 macrophage infectivity test also for in vivo infection Leishmania major
