Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Bc. Valentýna Funioková Supervisor: Doc. Ing. Petra Matoušková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Construction of plasmid and probes for detection of P-glycoprotein in Haemonchus contortus Anthelmintic resistence in parasitic nematodes has become an alarming issue worlwide. Haemonchus contortus, a pathogenic nematode of small ruminants, has become resistant to all types of anthelmintic drugs. Important players of the anthelmintic resistence are ABC transporters, most notably P-glycoproteins. In Haemonchus contortus, 10 homologues of Pgp have been identified. Research of individual P-glycoproteins could reveal particular transporters involved in anthelmintic resistence mechanisms. The diploma thesis focuses on P-glycoprotein-9.2, whose constitutive expression is higher in resistant strains of H. contortus than in susceptible strain. The opening chapters of the diploma thesis deals with the topic of parasitic nematode H. contortus, anthelmintic resistence and description of ABC transporters. The main part of this thesis is dedicated to construction of plasmids for in vitro preparation of digoxigenin-labelled RNA probes, and detection of P-glycoprotein-9.2 mRNA by chromogenic RNA in situ...
