An improved system for luciferase tagging Listeria monocytogenes was developed by constructing a highly active, constitutive promoter. This construct gave 100-fold-higher activity in broth than any native promoter tested and allowed for imaging of lux-tagged L. monocytogenes in food products, during murine infections, and in tumor targeting studies.
通过构建一个高活性的组成型启动子,开发出了一种改进的用于荧光素酶标记单核细胞增生李斯特菌的系统。该构建体在肉汤中的活性比所测试的任何天然启动子高100倍,并能够对食品中、小鼠感染期间以及肿瘤靶向研究中的荧光素酶标记的单核细胞增生李斯特菌进行成像。
