RELEVANT STAFF:   Haralabia Boleti
SERVICE DETAILS:  

At the Hellenic Pasteur Institute, we are able to provide plasmids for the expression of proteins in Leishmania tarentolae cells, as well as guidance for the correct cloning of genes of interest into the appropriate plasmid, for the precise transfection and characterization of Leishmania tarentolae strains and for the cell culture protocols. The service is limited only to providing experimental protocols and advices for the development of the L. tarentolae strain expressing the protein of interest.
