| 摘要 |
A transcriptional activator of T. gondii is provided which comprises the tetracycline repressor (TetR) operatively linked to a transacting factor of T. gondii. Strains of T. gondii transformed with a vector containing such a transactivator may be used to prepare vaccine compositions or to identify essential genes in the parasite. The system provided may be useful in other Apicomplexan species such as Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium berghei, Plasmodium yoelii, Plasmodium knowlesi, Trypanosoma brucei, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lambia.
