Lonza has developed the Amaxa Basic Parasite Nucleofector Kit, providing transfection efficiencies up to 1,000 times higher compared to methods such as electroporation or particle bombardment.
The kits enable fast and simple determination of species-specific transfection conditions and will improve the research of parasite-host interactions.
Parasitic protozoa infect vertebrates and invertebrates and some are even parasitic in plants.
In humans they can cause severe diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness or Leishmaniasis.
