This paper describes the application of the Nucleofector system for transient and stable transfection of bloodstream and procyclic forms ofTrypanosoma brucei, and its comparison with standard electroporation protocols. The system, which is based on a combination of pre-set programmes and "cell-type specific" solutions of unknown composition, allows transfected DNA to enter the nucleus directly without the need for cell division. It is 1000-fold more efficient for stable transformation ofT. bruceibloodstream forms than conventional electroporation, and is comparable to the rate obtained with procyclic forms.
