Construction of Two mCherry Plasmids (pXG-mCherry) for Transgenic Leishmania: Valuable Tools for Future Molecular Analysis

Figure 5

mCherry fluorescence is a valuable tool for measuring cell viability. Two pharmacological compounds were tested: amphotericin B (a and b) and miltefosine (c and d). Nonlinear regression curve fit for MTT (absorbance) and mCherry (fluorescence) is shown. Measurements were performed after 48 and 72 h for each drug. Plots represent the mean (± SD) of three independent experiments.
