Isolated repetitive DNA of protozoan parasites

摘要

Repetitive DNA sequences of the protozoan parasites T. cruzi and P. falciparum have been isolated. These sequences appear more than once in the parasitic organism. Once isolated, the DNA sequences may be labelled with materials such as chromogens, biotin, or radioactive substances. The sequences may be used, in labelled or unlabelled form, as probes for the parasites.
