Coming soon: Plasmid for generating single marker Trypanosoma brucei cell lines expressing the T7 RNA polymerase and the tetracyline repressor:
This plasmid was developed to enable rapid, reproducible and efficient introduction of the T7 RNA polymerase and tetracycline repressor protein into any strain of Trypanosoma brucei.
The is the plasmid used to generate the SMoX (Single Marker Oxford) series of cell lines in TREU927 and 427 strains.
the plasmid is highly-modular in design and both the T7 RNA polymerase and tetracycline repressor contain N-terminal nuclear localisation sequences.

Plasmids for endogenous locus tagging:
This set of plasmids are highly modular constructs for easy tagging of endogenous genes at either N- or C-termini. They are described in Kelly et al. (2007) MBP 154:103-9
